Need a Mentor

[LeesMimi 0]

Hello all...I'm looking for a mentor. I was just banded on Dec. 10th and this liquid diet is very hard. I just want to know if anyone felt the way I do.

Heck yes, it's difficult. I was on liquids for about 4 days before I called my doc and said I was very hungry, belching a lot, & frustrated. He ok'd semi-soft foods at that point and I was off and running. Thank goodness because I think I would have been swimming in broth if I had to keep to the full 10 days.

Keep in touch with your doc. Sometimes those timelines they give you can be modified. Just check first.

I agree with the previous post -- although I didn't call my doc but I did start adding some mushies and just chewing them to death -- I had low-fat cottage cheese and non-fat refried Beans with low-fat cheese - - for just one of the meals a day and it really helped with the hunger. Tomato Soup has become my best friend. :)
