What stage of your diet are you on? Mushies or solids? Sounds like it is too early for solids but I'm not sure. With that being said, make sure you keep your diet to high Protein as this will help you feel the fullest. Good luck.

I'm in the same situation. I am eating soooo much. I want my first fill NOW!!! Grrrrrrr. I want icecream. I want Cookies. I want cake. I want chocolate. I want chips. I want a hamburger! I want fries!!!!

Ok. Now that I'm over that rant I must say that I am not feeling any restriction and am sick of oatmeal and bananas. I feel like a monkey and maybe it's just because it's the weekend and I'm a bit bored, but I am sick of Water, too!

Any advice?

hamburger and fries blended in the blender, yum! LOL... I read a great tip on another thread. Take anything you are craving and put it in the blender until mushie. Be glad your at that stage, I would love to be there but I still have 4 weeks and 2 days until mushies... (still on pre op diet, surgery in 2 days)

I'm right there with ya'll! I was re-banded on Feb 27, have lost 15 pounds so far.

But if I wanted to, I could eat ANYTHING. I'm really pi$$ed at myself, b/c I have eaten almost an entire bag of Cheetos Puff Corn today --a whopping 1100 calories! I'm so mad!! So that means I've consumed almost 2000 cals today. I have got to get my fat a$$ back to the gym tomorrow!!

I had my LB put in on 3/10 so that makes me 6 days out. If you do all your Protein, you shouldn't feel hungry. And I do 6 small meals instead of just 3. Another thing I noticed is that ppl are put on the mushies at all different times. I did 3 days of clear liquds right after surgery, then mushies for the next 5 weeks. All that to say you protein should keep you full.

I have been on mushies for 6 days now and I feel more full if I make sure I have Protein. For me it is pureed chicken. This does not mean that I am fine. I am very hungry most of the time but I am sticking to what my dietician said to do. I have my first fill on 3/26 and I am counting down the days because I could really use some help!

Okay I am sooo glad I am not the only one having issues!!

I was banded 03/07/08. Did REALLY well with the clear liquid stage, of course I was still swollen from the surgery so it didnt take much to make me full. Protien shakes I could just live on! Follow up appointment 03/14/08 down 14lbs. Today is week 3 and I am on the "puree" stage. I did well with that for about 4 days! again still swollen, I have no restiction and no fill till 04/09. I, like some of you out there have cheated! I am freakin out!! How much does it REALLY take before you eat so much your pouch stretches?? I mean have I done damage that can not be reversed? I'm not talking a number 1 at McDonalds or anything, but still I eat solids when I am not supposed to!!!

HELP!! have I damaged myself before even starting?!!! I am determined to jump back on the wagon starting in the AM but I need some words of encouragement PLEASE tell me I have not messed up my "new" stomach!!

HELP!!

Hey Destynee

From reading another thread I would say you are still in good shape. Some others were not even restricted at a week after surgery and have over eaten or eaten the wrong things, I am guilty of that too. So from what I understand until you get a fill you will be able to eat more without any problems, the trick is to really try not to. I know it's hard, I do so good in the morning and at lunch but once I am home from work I am having trouble. Not really eating the wrong things but maybe too much period. I get my first fill 4/11 and I am looking forward to the restriction.

Hang in there, we are all in this together and here if you want to talk.

Valerie

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
