Hello-sorry you are having such a hard time now. I have not been banded yet so can't really speak to what you are going through. Try posting in post lap band discusion! Good luck

I was hungry on the clear liquids after a few days, too! It's probably a good sign, it could mean you're less inflamed, and it definitely means your body is on the mend. Once you go to full liquids, and it's not long now, it'll be A LOT better. They're very filling! Especially warm ones. So hang in there, you're almost there!

I was hungry that early as well. You just have to pull through this stage. It will be rewarding in the end. good luck with your journey

I know where your coming from.The problem is you are detoxing too (in a sense) You have to get use to being hungry until you can really drink some good Protein Shakes which help kill hunger. I have a post up for Muscle Milk Light. Just look around and it's there $5.99 a Jug (THAT"S DAMN CHEAP !) If you want some help with the drinks. Go to ebay and pick some up.25 of Protein, and only 195 Calories. It's good stuff too. That's were I buy my supplies from, and I'm sticking to it. I been on Muscle Milk for 5 yrs... So it's not a flash in the pan.

Here's good advice, the rest is up to you.

Hello, I'm sorry you are having trouble, I have been banded for a few years so I'm not sure if I should tell you to drink this or not, but I will anyway and you can choose for yourself what to do. My band is always too tight or too loose. So right now it is tight and the only things I can comfortably eat are cream Soups and slim fast. Slim fast will give you a full feeling. I can't see why it would hurt. Just take slips. I think it would help your hunger.

If your like me, you will be on thin liquids and protein shakes in a couple of days. That means strained cream soups and protein shakes. It was hard, but you can do it. I was so looking forward to the cream soup on about day 5. Stay strong. I had my lap band done on March 31. Hang in There!!

I bought a juicer and drank fresh oj ...

Hang in there.
