You do deserve to celebrate. Looks like you know your restrictions so you have it under control. Congratulations so far and good luck for the journey ahead of you.

I make my own shake. Using 1tsp choc sugarfree pudding mix. 8oz unsweetened almond milk and 1scoop unflavored whey. Its 3carbs total 2fat 160cal and 26protein. Also drink that 2x a day. I am eating low sodium tomatoe bisque soup blended and been blending broccili and i slice fat free cheese wich is 65cal per serving. So i am hoping maybe my body just has to adjust to taking on diff foods again.

Way to go! Keep up good work and think positive

Mylicon for babies!!! I am 8days pist op and it helped sooo much! Honestly the gas x was a joke for me to. But a dropper or 2 full of The mylicon reallllly does it.

Hi. I am a week half out and get hungry occ. But for my sweet attacks i mic whey powder sugarfree cheesecake pudding mix skim milk and two small nilla wafers. Blend it and chill it gets slightly thick and its only 90 calories! Low fat low carb low sugar high protein! And not to mention taste like cake batter. Lol its delicious but tends to stick with me.

Hi. Congrats on being banded soon! I am 8 days post op and was on clear liquids until today. Its not that hard. Honestly i had a huge appitite before. But not really been hungry since surgery i had day 5 where i got hungry for aboutt hour after that passed ive only ben hungry a little. But i found tomatoe juice gets me past it. I get the healthy request tomaroe soup and its yumm. Only 1/4 cup and im fine. Make sure you drink all your fluids. I found old orchard apple juice was the best they have healthy smart that is low calorie. Ive lost 11 lbs so far. But a bit of advice...buy some mylicon in baby isle. You will need it. Gas build ups hurt and its hard to burp. So even a baby dose of that stuff gets it out! Good luck were pretty close in days so anytime u need experience answers ket me know!

Good luck to you on your surgery. I know the scared feeling all to well. I had my surgery 2/24/11 everything went great. The only thing was i had hiatal herniathat they repaired with it the lapband. So surgery took a little longer. It was no problem! Things are going great so far and ive lost 11lbs since the day of surgery. Well good luck again. I hope to keep up with you and your progress.

I was banded on Feb 24 and hthinghe same thing! I also had hernia repair that i was thinking it was the culprit. Let me know! It is very painful to me.

Congrats on getting banded. I am also new. I got band on feb 24 2011 i had no hunger for first 4 days. On day 5 and today i have had a bit of hunger. It passed with a little apple juice or sugar free freeze pop. Of coarse im on clear liquids untill tomarrow then full liquids. Well congrats again. Ive lost 10.2 lbs so far and hope to keep it off as i start to add food back.
