Hello my name is Deborah and I live in Reidsville, NC. I just had the lap band done on 08/19, and I seem to be doing really well with it so far. I am only to do liquids, Jello, pudding, Soups, Protein Shakes etc for right now, sometimes I feel really satisfied, but then others I am hungry again, is this normal?? Im tired of feeling hungry.

I am still trying to get rid of the gas thats still inside of me. I wished it would hurry up and go away. I have been walking and on my treadmill, it seems to help some, but not alot. Anyways, im glad I found this site.:smile2:

Welcome to the site Deborah and congrads on your lapband. I was banded only 1 day before you. So I guess we are pretty much going through the same process at the same time. I like yourself am only able to do liquids, Jello, the broth from the soups, and Protein Shakes until Sept.1. But, I'm not suppose to eat pudding. :smile2:

Anyways, I'm glad to hear you are doing well with your recovery.

thats what my doc said it was, they had to put gas in my stomach to expand it to do surgery and I was complaining about my should hurting and he stated that the gas has settled there, and I need to walk or move around as much as possible so I can burp it out. I am to drink 2 ounces of my Protein shake atleast 3 hours apart, but as far as anything else just as long as I can tolerate it, Im good. I have noticed that I am taking more sips of Water than before. I go see my doc on 8/27 I am going to talk to him about the issues im having and see what he thinks from there.

      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.
