I was banded on 27Feb08 and my first fill is on 28Mar08 and I am hungry! I try not to eat alot but I fail most of the time and the pain I have afterward is not worth it. I know that I will hurt later but I still eat. Anyone that have some helpful hints please let me know.:wub::scared2::frown:

i was banded 2-28-08 and will have my first fill 4-1-08. my surgeon's office said they are not concerned with weight loss the first month. this is kind of a learning experience, like learning how to eat, how much to eat, etc.

now that i have said that, i have been starving for the last 3 days! when i get hungry, i eat, but i eat healthy food and i think that is the difference....i'm no longer head to the junk foods for a snack.< /p>

hang in there....it will get better.

I,too, am hungryyyyyy! Up until 3 nights ago I was on track with the Postop diet. I gave in and had 3 scoops of icecream and this morning, Easter, I had one slice of bacon, 2 scr eggs, and a very small pancake w/syrup. I go into see the doctor on March 26th and I hope I get a fill. Up to now I have been soooo good but I am running out of will power.

What has helped me when I know I was full but if food was still in front of me and I would be tempted to eat because it was there, was to put a bunch of stuff on it i.e salt pepper so the food would be too terrible to eat. I would feel bad sometimes because I was wasting food but I would rather do that than to regret eating all of it.

      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.
