  1. Hi all! Ive got a dilemma and Im not sure how to go about solving it. I was banded on Aug.14th, and have gone through 12 weeks of dieting pre and post surgery. Most of the time I was on protein drinks plus clear liquids, but the week after surgery I was on clear liquids only. My first fill is scheduled for Sept. 15th, and until then, Im supposed to remain on clear liquids and protein drinks. My clear liquids do not include cream of wheat or puddings, just broth, juices, jello and popsicles. The problem is that none of that satisfies me and I'm hungry all the time. After 12 weeks of drinking liquids and protein drinks without a problem, I'm now starting to 'cheat' a little here and there, putting noodles or bits of meat in my broth. I know I shouldnt be doing this, but I also know it will be 2 weeks until my first fill, where I expect to be able to control the hunger with permissable mushies and a filled lap band. My dilemma is, do I continue to do my little cheats to be able to get by until my fill date (Sept. 15th)? Or do I call the doctors office and tell them what my problem is, hoping they'll move the fill date up or let me have some mushies? Anybody else have this happen to them? Thanks for being here! Its nice to read through the posts and know you are all out there going through this just like me! Soli
