6 days post op and hungry..

Burn out on protein, sugar free pudding and broth.. Oh jello-o and let's nt forget the yogurt... no regrets just so darn hungry....

It happens. Be good, eat what your doc tells you to eat. You may be hungry until you get a fill that gives you some restriction.

oh girl i feel ya...just keep on drinking and use your protein shakes to help with this..i will say SF popsicles saved me...hang in there and happy new year

I am right there with you. Hungry and SO BORED with the food we can eat.

See my doc on the 3rd, hope the menu increases. : )

Wish I had some words of wisdom...sorry, but I feel your pain. When you can eat mushies, it will give your diet more variety...hang in there hun!!

Yep, we've all been there, done that.lol

Evidentually it will get better, but until then like TMF said, stick to Drs plans and fill those hunger pangs with water, sf hot chocolate, decafe tea or any other allowable fluid.

Good Luck!

Yes, I am very bored with the liquids.

I am hanging in there, and my family make sure but I just want something that is going to stick...

Thanks for all the words of encouragement... this is one challenge that will nt beat me...

I was banded on 12/21 and I was told clear liquids the first day then liquid I can fit through a straw after that and I have been having tomato soup made with water and its so much more filling than the broth. I have just been mixing it up. I've lost 12 lbs so far. Good luck.

Just keep thinking of how sexy you will look in that new bikini and how much more entergy you are going to have once you lose the weight...

I am with you on the hungry and bored with what I'm allowed to eat. I had surgery on 12-26-12 and can't wait to feel not hungry. We will survive but it sucks right now.

I know right!!! I can start stage ll Saturday.... I am so excited...I also was banded on Dec 26....

Desotogirl, I'm with you. I'm only 7 days post-op, had the band placed on 12/27/12. I just started mushies today and was thrilled! Hang in there!

Some variation to try - French onion soup, mushroom broth, the liquid from ramen noodles. With all of these I just added 1/4 cup to 3/4 cup of chicken broth. They don't have enough protein on their own but did change up the taste of the chicken broth.

Man oh man oh man I don't envy you at all! I would make a mushy and thin it out with milk until it was a liquid.

Favorite: ricotta cheese, applesauce and Protein powder with milk.

Or add a teaspoon of cream of rice to your shake!
