OKAY OKAY... So I am on a 64 Oz liquid diet with three pureed PROTEIN meals a day, I feel myself not full and eating more than the normal... Is this bad? I graze the refrigerator and seem to think about food all the time..... Any suggestions! ????

Ok. It's bad but if you get back on track it will be ok. However if you continue to graze you will probably not lose weight the way you want.

Being hungry will always make you think about food but once you are past purée you may find that the solid proteins will satisfy you more.

Come on Ronna! You can do this. When you are hungry in between meals try drinking some Crystal Light. You can't eat for at least a half hour after that... I use that rule to help police myself very often.

Why is that......... Why do we have to wait a half hour to start drinking after we eat.... IDK this all confusing me..... I had life Cereal this morning and I was fine... I thought I was to be full after two bites..... HELP

My doctor says no drinking a half hour before, during, or for a half hour after. I think it has something to do with washing food right through the band and I feel like I remember something about stretching the stoma.

I fear you might not have received enough information from your surgeon about the band, meal plans and procedure.

If you havent had a fill yet, you will probably be hungry until you do.

If you are on the mushy stage - your food should be mushy before it goes in your mouth.

Didn't your doctor give you a meal plan to follow?
