I was banded on 7/6 and just started pureed diet. I started a couple of days early because I was just so so hungry. Well I'm still super hungry and I have lost 15 lbs, but have been stuck at 15lbs for a few days.

I need some ideas to help curb the hunger pains so I don't cheat! It's not emotional eating or boredom- I'm physically so hungry that I can hardly stand it. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm getting a fill on 8/19.

Thank you!!!

I'm only 2 days post-op, so I'm not hungry (yet), but I did just make some pureed lasagna for dinner and it was very yummy! I just cut a very small piece of lasagna and used Tomato Soup to thin it in the blender. It was like lasagna soup! I also puree strawberrys with skim milk and splenda and top with a little sugar free cool whip. Also very yummy. I'll let you know if I come up with any other good ones. I also pureed some tuna with lt. mayo and Pickle Juice today. That wasn't bad either (good Protein, too!) Good luck!

Maybe you're ready for some solid foods. I was only on liquids for a week , then moved to solids. I had good restriction after meals and stayed full for hours. Just be sure to chew well and take small bites.

Good luck.

My doc has patients on Clear Liquids for 24 hours, then pureed foods for 2 weeks, then mushies for 2 weeks. I was having a little fun experimenting with what could be pureed. Everything I made was the consistency of a cream Soup and I only had a very little bit of it due to my lack of hunger. I am using low carb slim fast to get most of my Protein in. I think I'm doing fine! Everyone's doctors have different instructions after surgery...it's important to stick to what YOUR doctor tells you - a common theme here on LBT!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
