I had the Lap-Band® surgery on April 28, 2010 along with a liver biopsy. But I am hungry 24/7 does anyone have any sugestions?

I had surgery the 29th and always hungry but if I eat to much the food feel stuck and its hurst.

I was very hungry the first few weeks after the surgery too. Eat more protein and solid foods. You probably have little to no restriction if you haven't had a fill yet. Don't go off the rails but make sure you get your full calorie intake daily.

I THOUGHT THAT THE FIRST WEEK IS ONLY CLEAR LIQUID. CAN YOU HAVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN BROTH, APPLE JUICE, SUGAR FREE POPS. I AM AFRAID I KNOW I WILL BE STARVING

I am on the full liquids for two weeks. I can only have sugar free jello and pops and Cream soups that are well blended to a liquid. My doctor says I am only allowed to have the 4oz at a time. I am always hungry. I am afraid to eat more than what they say.

I had surgery the same day and I am not experiencing hunger all the time. I try to have 3 protein shakes a day and eat every 2 to 3 hours if I feel the need. I am mixing the protein powder with Almond milk and shaking it with ice which makes it thicker and very satisfying. I have made homemade delicious soups with vegetable like asparagus cooked with a whole bunch of parley, whole onion, 4 cloves garlic, 1 carton and one can of chicken broth, some pepper. When soft I beat 4 eggs and add to soup and it cooks and then grate some fresh Parmesan cheese. Blend it to puree and it is very satisfying and has protein in it as well. I have had a can of tomato soup with the almond milk as well which is also very good. I have made a spinich soup and added the egg and a can of garbanzo beans to add texture and protein. Lots of water, diet tea, etc. I have been doing fine. I stared after surgery as I really needed the protein. I get creative with the cooking which helps and I have had yogurt and sugar free pudding. It sounds as if you are not eating enough protein. My doctor said to have protein immediately. You need it to heal. You can eat, just eat smart and not to much at a time.
