Hi I am 6 days post op on liquids now for almost 21 days - I am gazing longingly at the cat's food at this point - & if I have one more Bariatric Advantage Shake or broth or pudding or pureed whatever I am going to puke!

Sandy Cheeks I am with you on that one. I was banded on Aug 11. Did the 2 week pre-op liquids. After surgery I thought I only had one more week on liquids and my doc said "No, I want you to do full liquids for 2 weeks". Uggh!! Oh well I will make it. On the bright side the pounds are dropping fast! Hang in there. It will be over before you know it.

Hey Sandy, I am with you on this one 2. I am so tired of liquids but whenever I try to eat anything semi-solid, it gets stuck so I have to stay on liquids until my 7-week check up. I had my surgery on July 12th. I am sooooooooooo hungry. I am in the process of looking up recipes to see what I can find to help me with protein, calcium, and fillness. So that is a suggestion that I have for you to look for new ways to get full. The options are limitless. Check out the website. The LapBand.com, you will have to register for the site but once you're in, their is a link for recipes and they have several on there. Well good luck.

I just made some very "wet" tuna salad just a little low fat mayo salt and pepper and feel much, much better! I know I wasn't suppose to do this yet but hey it's not like I swallowe a steak that's going to get stuck. I keep thinking that it's not the fullness that keeps me from eating it is just that I love to cook and eat - I love the whole taste thing and the chewing and the texture I mean for me a piece of french bread slathered in butter is awesome anytime it's got nothing to do with hunger so I am sort of questioning whether I have done the right thing here!

No I'd eat the cat food before puking

That's another way of loosing weight. There is nothing scarier than an anorexic fat person.

OMG! Hang in there. I am 4weeks out and feel much better. I now am adding solid foods. Just the little bit of change in my diet did wonders. You made me laugh out loud. Please hang in there. I know the results are going to be great. YOU can do this!!

I soooooooooo agree with you Sandycheeks, I am so over this liquid diet. Unfortunately, I was banded 8/11/11 and as of tomorrow I will have another week of this. I not saying I want to inhale everything I see, I just can't wait to chew something with texture. Goodness I can't wait until puree week!!!

I am in the pre op stage and not looking forward to the liquid diet. Hang in there, I wil be needed you all after my surgery

It seems like everybody gets different instructions I was tolf liquuids for 2 weeks after surgery and then you could start soft foods - so I started my soft foods 1 week after surgery am losing weight and nothing is getting stuck I just can't eat much and I haven't had a fill yet.

So I was banded the day before ou and I started soft foods this past Monday and am doing great - can't wat much and am careful about what - but works fine for me. I think they just don't want people to be stupid and try and eat a steak or a chicken - I made very moist tuna salad with low fat mayo I can only eat a few forkfuls and am full - also cottage cheese is great!
