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.

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.< /p>

Good Luck!

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.

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.

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!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
