I was banded on aug 14. Going through the same thing. My dr mentioned the hunger issues stop after about the 4th fill. Today was my first fill and I'm back on liquids then mushies for the week. I found a few specific savory meals help a ton. Fresh and easy sells these Hawaiian turkey burgers I eat by themselves but I have to chew them to mush. The other night my fiancé made ground turkey in spaghetti sauce instead of noodles we had spaghetti squash, I threw a scoop of fat free cottage cheese. I could hardly move I finally felt full and are the correct portion. Also I noticed if I'm not eating very much protein the hunger increases. Walgreens sells these two gulp protein shots that are 30grams!!!!!. If I have one of those 30 min before dinner I think I trick my body. Helps immensely. I also hit a weight loss issue. I've stopped at 17pounds. He said after my fourth fill I will really start to notice a change. Good luck

I've looked but never found one. Then I tried Pinterest and wow!!! Some ammmmmazing recommendations and recipes on there. My dr cleared me for whole wheat pasta I like to put fat free ricotta or cottage cheese and sauce. And it's something the whole family can have. If your in the mushy stage skip the noodles and it's still amazing. I also use spaghetti squash instead of noodles.

My new favorite is a banana pb2 Greek yogurt and honey. What a treat!

I had the same pain. It was from my port. I saw my dr today and he said there is a nerve that runs close to the port. Typically it hurts most when sitting for long periods of time like in a car. He said sometimes is takes months for it to fully heal. I would still let your dr know.

Walgreens sells two gulp protein shots. 40grams in two gulps!

You should yes up your protein intake but my dr also told me to take biotin and lots of it. I was worried about the hair loss too. Getting married in a few months and I need all the hair I can get.

I used pillows wedged under me to sleep on my side and relieve some of the pressure points.

I'm on soft foods. I can do like ground meat cooked veggies nuts. They want me to wait a few more weeks for tougher meats and lettuce. I have this horrible craving for pickles. I am worried about the skin

15 days post op. lost 24 pounds, yay! Today I've had the worst craving for a pickle and I wasn't sure if that's a mistake or allowed and anyone's experience with that.

Pro balance Protein shot XL at walgreens Amazon also sells them in bulk.

Yea I just bought them over the weekend and were on sale 1.50 each. But my fiancé found them in bulk on amazon. Day 13 and I have the itchies too. When did your steri strips come off? When I sit in the car for too long I get a cramp over my port site area. My 2 week post op is tomorrow very anxious.

Walgreens sells these two gulp protein shots 30grams. Highly recommend them.

I found protein shots at walgreens this weekend! 30gr in two gulps. What I game changer. I have more energy. I can focus on water intake instead of figuring out how to get enough protein to keep my eyes open!

Kpurdy what is your pain level currently? I still get gas and a stinging sensation over my suture. I can never seem to get comfortable. I went back to work. I work in a dental office and spend a portion of my time walking in circles. Everyone keeps saying walk walk walk.

I woke up with nausea. All loss of hunger is gone. I drank a protein shake this morning and I had to do everything in my power not to throw up. Has anyone else had this issue. Dr office suggested pepto and some pedialite
