Not me. I was too busy trying to grasp the concept of sipping and walking and sleeping and sipping sugar, then Water, then sugar and breathing so I didn't get blood clots and all that other malarkey...

Hello, yes.....very much so....probably the first time in a long time! i always ate before i got hungry...not able to do that now so it's very stressful and painful physically and mentally...but this is for my own good and to have a better life so i'm sticking too it if it kills me! i'm also easily irritable but i have 2wks left on liquids then mushies then regular food. time passes no matter what so i have to relax and keep busy...good luck and your not alone.

I know I started getting hungry Sunday night/Monday morning. I was really shocked because like rosemary3, I would always eat before I got hungry. I almost didn't recognize the feeling. I have also had head hunger though I was able to tell the difference.

Stick with it. My doc had 3 wks of clears, 2 of fulls and then mushies. It's really hard, but you'll do it. Jello seemed to help me a lot. I drank my weight in friggin broth too! If you feel the need to chew, then try sf popcicles.

Stick with it... it' does get easier!

You had eggs? How did you feel after? Werent you suppose to be on clear liquids? Sorry for all the question, but I had my band on Friday and I am starving and I feel its causing me more pain..so confused.

I'll be honest with you. It felt greeeeate! I did clear liquids for over 3 days/2 nights, then some light Soups and by the 4th-5th day, I was feeling pretty good in terms of healing, recovery, etc. I was also hungry as hell. My first "solid" food was soft scrambled eggs (nothing added) and I think I ate just one! Sure I was scared but it went fine. I also heal quickly, IMO. The type of band that you have may also play a role but I think the worst that happens to the stomach is a small flap is folder over one side of the band and stitched kinda like "tucking it in" place.

Yes ... I m hungry ... I was banded 18 days ago ... but when i start on eating any of my mushie food i get full after few bites then hungry again after 2 hours ... but now i can drink juices ... the hunger feeling feels different and i still do not know how it feels to be really full ... but then when you look at a kilo ( 2 pounds ) every few days ... it is worth it ...youghurt is a great tool ... fruit youghurt too ,,,,, (end of the week)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
