Im new to this site and I just got my band May14 I was wondering if anyone was as hungry as I am? This liquid thing is not filling!!!

I was banded on May 15, and the full liquid diet wasn't working for me. My doc gave me the ok to start soft foods because I was getting hungry every 2 hours. And I'm sick of those protein shakes they make me gag. My appointment is on Friday, but I'm pretty sure I'm not getting a fill until next month

Was banded on the 18th. I can't do this liquid crap anymore, I am not a sweet eater and I have drank so much broth I think I am going to drown. I cheated and started my mushies on day 5 and so far so good. Anyone else have this kind of problem or suggestions.

i am the same with u!!!the shakes make me wanna puke even the smell of the powder!!! I also have eatin a lil like half an egg a couple times just so i can get sum protein i cant even do the shakes i try but they just wont go down anymore thats how grossed out i am with them.

Im a cheater too lol i have acctually eaten some solid foods and only 2 weeks in but i havent had any issues no discomfort of any kind which scares me just makes me wonder what extent i can go to but not about to try it

May 16th for me and I'm starving. I called the nutritionist yesterday she said I could add in a small amount of mash potatoes. A no fat/ light yogurt and creamy soup fat free no or reduced sodium.

I was may 14th as well. I'm actually not hungry I think due to the swelling and i have suffered from terrible gas for the last 8 days. When your stomach hurts, food is not a thought. When you get hungry that is a sign it's time to move to the next stage, that is what my doc says. Can you add some calories or protien. Are you getting enough? Check out the may bandsters thread under the pre op section if you have not done so already. There is great conversation there all from people banded this month.

I was allowed to eat all those things on the liquid food stage. Makes a difference in the hunger I think. I have had thick soups and anything I can liquefy!

I can't wait to eat eggs

I was banded on 5/8. Honestly I'm hungry all the time now. lol. It didnt start til a couple days ago... Now food only holds me probably 2 hours. Water doesn't curb my hunger. And since I switched to soft foods I've gained 7.5lbs. I have not cheated AT ALL so I don't understand.

Cannot wait for my fill June 14... I'm going crazy.

I'm glad it's not just me.

Well I had my surgery May 11th. I was to start mushie tomorrow but decided to try it tonight. I did an egg and OMG it is delish!!! I haven't been hungry since my surgery but this tastes so good.

I was banded on April 6. Got my first fill today! I hope it fixes the feeling of fullness. I want to be in the sweet zone! Everything looks good to me.

I loved my liquid phase. Here's a list of food I ate. For me having choices made all the difference. I also served myself from a tray and put yogurt in wine glasses. You do what makes you feel like a princess

Liquid low fat or nonfat yogurt. strawberry was my favorite

Ice pops sugarless I'm fruit flavored

Creamy Soups. Tomato leek corn lobster bisque creamed potato. chicken broth when I got extra hungry. You have to watch the sodium

Creamsicles

Protein shakes

Jello

Fruit juices cut 50/50 juice and Water

Hot tea

Good luck !!!!
