Bandster hell my dear. Beef up on your Protein Drinks if you're on an all liquid diet still. Until you get proper restriction, you're doing it all on willpower alone. Sucks, but 99% of us all go through it. :(

Hahahha, I feel that way when I see someone eating a nice big sloppy piece of pizza. I know I can't have it and it ticks me off. :lol:

;) Bandster hell for sure. I switch to mushies tomorrow - YAY! :D It has been an incredibly long 4 weeks of liquids. :P

If we can follow the liquid diet for a month, we can follow the band rules and meet our weight loss nad health goals!!! :rolleyes:

my dietitian has me on full liquids, I see my surgeon and my dietitian tomorrow, I want to ask my surgeon just what the deal is. To me ( don't forget I'm a retired commercial roofer) I can understand about how important the healing is and how we all have different tolerances that we need to learn (SLOWLY) I just want to know, is it, that if I were to try a small bite of puree chicken and didn't have any problem, Is it that I have to be on Clear, one week, full liquid one week, then start mushies? Or does a food like (just for example chicken puree again) chicken irratate my GI track and should never pass my lips until at least week three? I already know we are all different, just wondering are these the rules for the people that might wolf down a big bite and forget and get stuck or if you start before those three weeks you WILL get stuck. I hope I got this point across??

My hunger is much better after listening to my dietitian and having the milk,and greek yogurt powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes, but like right now, I'm beyond starving (thats how I feel this second) half hour ago I was fine. Come on purees!!! I can't wait until I can have them!

Oh yeah, I'm on day 8 tomorrow.

Im 2 1/2 yrs out but remember that first month like it was yesterday. Everytime Id go to Albertsons to pick up my cans of Tomato Soup, I"d smell the deli fried chicken and almost die from hunger. Swore that would be my first solid food. It wasn't. To tell u the truth, I don't even remember what it was!

Hang in there. When ur able to eat again and when u finally get restriction, it'll be worth it. I promise. Be patient. Its a long process to actually losing.

its a hard time. i feel for each one of you. here is what im doing to get through the ''band hell' period.

i suggest, try doing some experimenting with what you can have.. a Soup can be made to be very tasty and filling... it doesnt have to be bland. im really trying to do just that right now and its helping me .

for example, having a small bowl of soup that has a lot of flavour means that i can take a smaller mouthful, put the spoon down, savour the taste, i can wait for the 20 odd seconds before the next spoonful. im using mod. salsa in my Soups. thats a strong flavour and leaves a lingering taste on my taste buds its a real help. anther one... garlic salt, then there is fresh lemon juice. all are marvellous in and on soups.Om sure there are other ideas. think if it as an adventure, not something that has to be ''endured''. you can make the liquids a lot more flavoursome .

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
