How about you control yourself for once in your life!

You just had surgery! How can you be hungry?!?!?

This is not in the spirit of LapBandTalk....

Canned broth is better than boullion as it has actual Protein grams in it. I continually sipped beef broth mixed with V8 juice. Try to puree some Soup and add more chicken or beef broth, then just a tad of instant potatoes to SLIGHTLY thicken it. Keep drinking fluids.

I was just banded today...and I am having some hunger pains. That's insane! My doctor told me I could have anything that I couldn't chew. I have had some beef broth, Water, and I will be having some Jello and popsicles. I can start having slim fast in a few days. If I am just starving, I may have some apple juice. I have only had very, very little broth. I am going to try to take some more. I am taking it in small quantities, because praying to the porcelian god would hurt A LOT right now...LOL.

Shame on the meanie from earlier in this thread. I think it is wonderful that we are all taking steps to getting healthier. We're only human...aren't we allowed to be hungry?? Anyway, I am going to take some broth and see how I feel. :rolleyes2:

I had my surgery Friday, April 11th and I am hungrey. I am having my liquids as instructed by my doctor but I am hungry. My stomach is growling and the hunger is not all in my head. Help.....

What are you eating?

Protein shakes should curb your physical hunger...although they aren't very fun. I also find sugar free popsicles make me feel like I am eating something since I can chew them. I like chicken broth and it really got me through pre-op diet, but now since i can only drink 1-2 oz...what's the point.

Hang in there. this is the way I look at it...Our docs prescribe this two weeks of hell to give our weight loss a good jump start. AND to make us more appreciative when we actually put something yummy in our mouths (like mushies, etc).

You can do it.

My doc says 3-5 Protein Shakes a day. I do about 2.

      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?

      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.
