Hello all, one week into my liquid diet...one day at a time is how i'm looking at it. I'm still hungry between the god awful Protein drinks:thumbdown:..I drink 3 small cans of v-8/day and have a popsicle/fudgicle now and then...also chicken Soup broth...it is really hard...i've never been hungry alot before..so this is new to me. I heard it's suppose to get easier...i hope so.My 1st dr's appt isn't till 10/15...no puree till then...sounds so far away. Moving around better, trying to go out into the world but i'm so irritable and find it hard to be around people, is this Something anyone else experiences? going to exercise more...maybe that will help...tire so easily though...still glad i made the decision..:smile:it was time. bye for now.:biggrin:

I had my surgery on 9/25 and I feel you're pain, I don't want anymore visitors, chicken broth, popscicles, I want something solid. Please keep me posted as to what helps you and I'll try it too.

Thanks...

Hi I'm with you all too! banded on 9/25. I'm trying to drink enough Fluid, don't feel hungry at all. How are you all getting enough Protein in? I'm drinking an ensure every day, but it's only 11 or 12 grams of protein...
