Just start experimenting with softer solid foods at first to find out how you react. Wait before trying dry foods or just take it slow.

My operation was pretty easy, back at work two days after, a little pulling at the long incision if twisting just right, no problem working or sleeping or driving. I have been driving after the second day.

Operation on March 31, started pureed food April 10 and solid food April 17. The doc suggested shortening the liquid and pureed periods, since I have been feeling so good, maybe not good but great.

It was solid food before I could recognize the band talking to me and I am still learning to understand its language. It is not the same as a full stomach previously.

I lost 15# on the 10 day preop and have lost 17# in the 26 days since, so I guess that is adequate. It is 3 weeks to my next appointment and he says that he will adjust the band if I am not losing weight.

Maybe the novelty has not work off yet but a serious adjustment will be required after the novelty does wear off.

      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.
