I got banded 3 days ago on the 21st. Two days before the surgery I was put on a liquid diet. It was horrible. I thought that once I got banded the hunger would go away if I just sipped some Water. The first 2 days I was in so much pain, it was kind of easy to ignore the hunger. But now I feel tired and have no energy and I AM STARVING. :((((

ANY TIPS???

PS: Can you eat a spoonful of creamy Peanut Butter to help with the hunger after 3 days of surgery? Please help!

NO! You need to stay on liquids as long as your surgeon says. But, that doesn't mean only Water. Drink some tea, clear juice, sugar free popsicles, Crystal light lemonaide is good, drink bullion, (I liked the beef). You can do it, just set your mind to it. Try some Special K protien water, too! Good luck, Karen

I was banded yesterday, and not feeling hunger yet.. I'm on Clear Liquids for week 1, then full liquids starting week 2... My surgeon and nutritionist said to avoid PB until at least after 4 week healing period, and also it's on a list of potential problem foods... You need to follow the diet your surgeon recommended.

On that note, I just bought Isopure zero carb Protein Water , which is allowed on clear liquid. That should help curb hunger.

I had my lapband 2 years ago and have lost 150 pounds. I had my surgury at Surbuban medical center in Louisville Ky. Follow your rules and weight will just melt off. This past year my weight has been at a stand still. I have recently found this new shake that is sweeping the nation and is absolutely deilicious. Tons of recipes and support. I am now back to losing weight, I have been on the product for only 4 days and lost 5 pounds. They have Vitamins etc. Check out my website http;//sherrybellinghasm.myv.net I have tried several different shakes and this one I have found the tastiest. It has a sweet cream taste, people describe it as a cake mix taste. I live in Louisville you can contact me on my website, if you have any questions about lapband, I have had several tightenings and at this time at my so called sweetspot. You have a fantastic year ahead of you, if I can help with any support feel free to contact me. Good Luck!i

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
