Do any of you get a nagging feeling when it's time to eat. I've been doing like 3or 4 oz of Soup and I noticed every 2 hours I get this feeling and after I eat it goes away. Is the normal or am I crazy?

This feeling is kind of painful, is it my band letting me know it's time for me to eat? I'm so lost:(

Be very careful with what you are eating. The one thing you want to do is make sure you are sipping and drinking Water. It could also be gas pains which means you need to walk, walk, walk as much as possible. Remember your body is trying to adjust to what you have just experience. Your band doesn't tell you when to eat it is a tool to control your eating.

And my stomach is growling around that time, once I drink some broth is goes away, I don't think I'm eating enough. I have a total of 3 Soups a day maybe 2 yogurts 2 Protein shakes 29 grams each a day. And 32 oz of Water

Yes your stomach will sound like a fight is going on and that could be gas. Trust me the same thing was going on with me. However, I was on Clear liquids for three weeks at 2 ounces every 30 minutes which I couldn't do. My main focus was to get in at least 50 to 60 grams of Protein a day. When I started on full liquids, I could only have it after I got in my Protein which increased to 80 grams a day. Some days I only had a 1/4 cup of cream of chicken because I was concern about my protein and Water.

If you have concerns, you can always call your surgeon's office and they can provide you with assistance.

I have a burning sensation too, especially when i bend over. I think that might be incision pain. Not sure. The fluids become uncomfortable for me sometimes. I just stop. I know I am working up to getting the fluids and protien, but you have to listen to your body first.

      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!!
