Hi. I'm in the exact same boat. I'm entering my third week since the surgery and I'm super hungry as well. The first couple weeks, I couldn't eat much b/c I was so swollen. Now, I just want to eat everything, but I don't want to hurt myself. Today, I went to get some Slim Shots at Walgreens. I've read they curb appetite w/out making you feel like you're bouncing off the walls. Today was just my first day on them. So far, no change. I'm getting bored eating the same things over and over again. All I ever eat is 4 oz of refried beans, or 4 oz of light cottage cheese, yogurt, pudding, blah, blah, blah. Trust me, I feel your pain! :thumbup:

Hi. My name is Katie, and I was recently banded by Dr. Perlman in Denver, CO on 03/31/2010. Since beginning my pre-op dieting, I have lost 18lbs, with 10 of those lbs since my surgery date. I'm starting to eat pureed foods, and I'm getting frustrated because I'm having trouble finding different high protein, low carb, low calorie ideas for me to eat. I've been eating refried beans, egg beaters, low fat cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, pureed lima beans, canned tuna fish, and my doctor said I can have grilled fish that's easy to flake. I'm also still drinking Isopure and whey protein. I'm entering all that I eat into my online food log on LAP-BAND®.com. I'm worried about my carbs. I'm still consuming more protein, but my carbs are higher than they should be I think. I'm starting to get into a routine and I'm getting really bored with the food I'm eating. Does anyone have any helpful ideas or soft food recipes? Thanks! :confused:
