Thanks for your prompt reply, I have only really done light exercise, and as for meals, three light small meals a day, ie, milky hot ceral, or 2 boiled eggs yolks only,soup for lunch, and usually mash potato with chicken and veggies for dinner, (only small amount, on a tea plate), What do you think?

Hi

I saw your thread and my heart goes out to you, I have real advice but would urge you to go back and see your dietician or consultant to see if your band needs adjusting.

Do you feel full after small meals, or are you still feeling hungry lots?

I hope things get better for you.

I really would advise going to see your surgeon who did the operation if you can. My heart also goes out to you - hope you manage to sort it out and good luck.

      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.
