Yeah I hear ya, I was feeling the same way on Sunday when I went to my FIL house and he made corn on the cob and italian sausage and potato salad, OMG I just sat there salivating!! I added another scoop of Protein Powder to my shakes, talked to my Doc about it today at post op appointment and she said that was absolutely fine. It seemed to make a difference for me so maybe you could try that? I think no matter what way us wives and mommies do it, it is going to SUCK making yummy dinners for the fam for the next few weeks! It will be over before we know it and I just keep telling myself that these stages are important and that it won't last forever, UGH!

I am at the end of my 2 week post op liquid diet tomorrow. I did it, the whole way without cheeting at all. I feel like I have accomplished a huge feat! I feel like I can do anything now since I have endured these past 2 weeks of torture. I Am wanting way more food than my lil cup o Soup. I am ready for a big ol t-bone....LOL I would have to say, I was about a week out when I noticed my desire for more food was increasing. I wasnt staying full that long, and wanted to eat more often. I think its normal. I have to say, lunch after my doc visit in the morning is going to be WONDERFUL.:biggrin:

I have NO idea WHAT I am going to get though. HMMMM:bored:

I was banded 8/10/09 and dammm I am hungry.. It is so sad cooking all these meals for my bf and just watching him eat. My doctor has had me on liquid diet for two weeks after surgery. I then go to "soft foods". Well, I cheated. Today I forgot my protien shake at home and just drank Water all morning until lunch. At lunch I went to a Chinese Restaurant and had a Won Ton Soup. Drank the broth and ate a few little shrimps, and egg that it had in there.. NOthing happened....just that my bowl movement was solid since pre-surgury.....lol

Sometimes I think....what have I done...but then I think to the future!! It is all worth it.:confused:

In my mind I am hungry too. I don't feel hungry but I just went to post op appt. today, lost 10 lbs. I have been eating mushy foods nearly all week. I got a talking too today, he told me that I had to stick to the diet cause of the band. I fill no restriction. Not even in the morning. I am ready for a fill. I did good this today, ate malt o meal and Protein Shake. Did good on mushy's. Let's see if I can do this for 3 wks. LOL.. Oh I have to be strong, and just love can tuna..LOL..:drool: I am doing something right, cause I am loosing weight. I also am walking 35 min everyday. :confused: I have neuropathy in my legs and since I have started walking they don't hurt like they did. Thank god.

      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.
