I totally hear you on this....I was banded on Thursday, and I am having a really hard time just staying on liquids....the broth isn't cutting it anymore, and the protien shakes (that worked wonders before!) don;t take that hunger feeling away!! My mom was banded on 10/25 and had that lovely honeymoon period where she didn't even want to eat!! I never felt like that except when I was super bloated and gassy...I'm almost in tears smelling my hubby cooking dinner for our 3 yr old!! Cannot wait until I see the doc on Wed and he gives the OK for soft/mushy food!!

My doc has me on a strict 1000 cal diet.....only plain oatmeal, v8, yogurt (sugar n fat free) n raw veggies. Supplemented with protein shakes.. Once daily I can sub grilled chicken ...... Thank heavens because I can't choke down another piece of lettuce.... Lol....I an on day 7 of 14.... I'll be starting life again next Thursday!!!! I'm ready!!!!!!!!!!

I, too, am starting my life over on Dec 15 th!!! I'm managing thru the preop diet.... So hard with a 3 yr old and a husband who is my eating partner!!! We are both dong this.... He's not until Feb.....but I am excited to go thru this process... Just nervous for the anesthesia..... But can't wait to feel like a new person!!!!!
