I was only allowed to eat breakfast the day before surgery the rest of the day was clear liquid , you better check with your surgeon first ,as far as hunger well thats somethin you might wanna start gettin used to, i have been on clear liquids and protein shakes since my surgery on June 26th, the hunger part does get better..good luck & congrats!

everyday get a little better,before you know it you will feel great, i also was very weak , and just a little walkin around made me sweaty & dizzy, just slow down take your time,rest, and remember your protein! congrats!! it really does get better

I was banded on the June 26th and have lost 8 LBS,not thrilled thought it would be more BUT at least we are loosing and no longer gaining!!! as my dear friend told me last night "you didnt gain it over night & wont get rid of it over night either" but at least we are on our way, everyone looses weight differently

Exactly whats done is done:thumbup: just take care of yourself and follow your surgeons instructions

and congrats on your weight loss! 30 LBS is great!

i was banded 12 days ago and felt the same way,i even had panic attacks thinkin i had done something terrible and that i wanted it out! I will just say that i am 100% happy with it now, i think our brains go through some kinda panic thing

Im not on the mushy stage yet but i was told when i get to that stage, that fish & beans have lots of protein

I was banded on June 26 th and am still on clear liquids and porteins shakes only, does it suck YES, do I have to do this because my surgeon told me to YES,they know best please do what they tell you to do

kinda scary

thanks soooo much for your replies i feel better already!!! talkin to people who have been through it really helps,big hugs to all!

Im doin a little better today, but i keep havin sharp pain when i breathe in to deeply im assuming its gas pain, also my stomach wants to burp it comes all the way up but wont come out???!! LOL :thumbup:

Im thinkin men dont have estrogen,so you should be okay:thumbup:

yup 3 weeks i dont think i can make it! i feel dizzy and my stomach is constantly growling

thank God I am not the only one! i was banded on 6-26-08 I am hungry,dizzy, soooo emotional ! i cry because im hungry! this week-end i told my mom i want it out of me LOL good God I hope this stops soon!!! i feel so out of it physically & mentally

Im back!!!!! I made it!!! 7 days out and im a little hungry protein shakes arent really cutting it,any suggestions? my surgeon has me on a 3 week clear liquids only diet! UGH! lol

If those are for me....Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!:tt1:

i bought EAS vanilla then i went to the grocery store and bought those sugar free syrups, they have all flavors! i found them in the coffe isle at Albertsons,you can turn a vanilla shake into any flavor you like
