I tried it years ago, it did not work, obviously.

I am the most satisfied when I eat solid food. I still use a protien drink as a snack. But, eating turkey and tuna works best for me. Of course I love that steak.

With the band they say it is best to eat solid food. It stays in the pouch longer, thus the reason for not drinking liquid for 60 min after you eat.

Let the band work with you. Perhaps you need a fill?

Take care

i have used it since i went on the post op diet in August 08.

my Dr wouldn't give me another fill last time. (i was telling him my eating routine) he said he thought i was using my band as a crutch... umm yeah thats why i got the thing. i was so angry. but now a month later i did do what he said. he got on to me for using the shakes. wanted me to eat every 4 hours. real food. so this month i did do what he said and it has started me losing again. ( have only lost 45 pds since surgery)

as he explained to me, the shakes run right through that band. (but i felt full after having it) also it made my hair grow like crazy. ( i think from all the Protein i added to it)

anyway.. yes i love them but do try and eat some food also. :bored:

      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.
