Most of us know just how you feel. Just take it one day at at time. It will get better when you reach the mushie stage and better at every stage after that. Before too long this will all be a distant memory and you will be saying that it was all worth it.

Till then, take in as much liquid Protein as you can handle and keep busy.

This is the worst part of getting the band done, like it was said before take it day by day, and keep yourself really busy doing things that do not invole eating or food. Good luck hun.

Hey Abbie, Hang in there...soon there will be real food to eat and it will make a big difference. I am looking forward to mushies. Anytime that I am feeling hungry I just up the Protein and that seems to help. Also warm broth. I know it's probably not much consolation, but just hang in there. We will make it through!

I don't know if it's cause it's that time of month, but I was banded Friday (04/17), my cycle is due the end of this week and I want all bad stuff to eat. One day at time or should I say one shake at a time....

      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.
