Day 3 and I'm STARVING!



Recommended Posts

I was banded on Wednesday and I'm on a clear liquid diet until next Wednesday. I'm sooooooo starving, I don't know what to do! Any ideas are welcomed!!

HANG IN THERE. It's hard but vital for you to heal! One thing I did was strain campbell's chicken noodle Soup (no sneaking ANY chicken or noodles though...they can really do damage) and drinking that. It was way better than broth. AND have sugar free popsicles if your doc allows.

Week 1 I only got Water, broth, clear stuff...no Protein. It gets better once you can have Protein shakes again.

We made it so I know YOU can.

Thanks for the advice Monkey. I know that I would only hurt myself if I cheated, I would never do that. My cousin just invited me to a bbq this weekend and I know I can't handle the temptation so I declined. I just made a Protein Shake with milk, I hope that takes some of the hunger pains away. I think I might try and go to bed early, that seems to be the only thing that takes my mind off of it.

I think you were really smart to pass on the BBQ. There will be other ones. And this does pass...think of that. Before you could diet and suffer and lose and then relax and gain it all back. You have the band now; it will help you. You can make it! :cool2:

Hi Nina,

I find when I am feeling a little hungry something warm makes me feel a little better, it takes the urge to eat away. I usually have herbal tea, but not the minty ones they stir up my stomach more, SF hot chocolate or I have chicken broth. I like the broth with noodles or Pasta and I strain it and give DH the noodles. The borth has a little more body that way. Before you know it the liquid stage will be over! Hang in there.

PS......I was on liquids for 12 days ! then was so nervous about eating I stayed on liquids another 2 days because I was afraid to swallow anything!!! lol

Don't be afraid to move on to the next stage once the Dr. say ok. Just remember to chew, chew, chew!

How do you do it Nina? I was banded the same day and i cannot eat a thing. I am trying to consume Water and my shakes but i feel as if i am forcing them down.

Is everything you are drinking going down easily?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
