HELP Three days post op and hungry!

[KELLIJAMES 0]

I am three days since being banded and am so hungry. I am eating Jello, sugar free popsicles, broth, drinking Water, crystal light and unsweet tea. I was wondering if it would hurt to have a milkshake. Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

milkshakes are all baaaaaaaaaaad. You can however get a high Protein Shake. I drink the world wide pure Protein (at trader joes) or any other variety that tastes good. 3 days post opt I was starving so I made a very small bowl of cream of wheat and surpriselingly enough that did the trick:thumbup:

do a Protein shake/drink. You can buy the powder and/or mixed drinkes at Walmart. I had surgery on 6/08/09 and the shakes have been good. I was specifically warned to stay away from ice cream!

I bought the myoplex Protein drinks at walmart. You can also get them at most CVS's or Walgreens

Good luck
