Hi everyone, today i am 3days post op. i started on thick Soups and yogurt today. I had my two Protein Shakes and, drank all my liquids. I just feel so empty and hungry, its giving me a headache. Im starting to wonder if i can do this. Im hoping once i start actual food its much dfferent, but right nowi am just wondering hw im going to make to the end of ths phase if im going to feel like this. Please some feedback.......

Thanks, Sara

Before were you consuming sugar and/or caffeine? I found drinking some weak tea helped with headache as before I had had caffeine every day.

I was banded the 19.$ we are supposed to feel hungry. Our band is in place but it will start to do its job after we get a fill. I mixed my liquids w meats. I also was starving. I know it's ad for me, but I sometimes eat a oil bit of regular foods. I have children. I need energy.

What Protein did u get? Does it taste good?

Hi Leslie, i guess i just dont knw what to expect. My doc said a lot of people dont get a fill for a year because of the swelling and the band itself without a fill does restrict. I just hope i feel full when i am able to eat. As for the protein...ive tried three...Unjury i didnt like because it leaves an after taste in your mouth..i also tried " something" Nectars, i cant remember the name. They have lots of flavors and BJ's Bariatrics will sell sample packets. I like the chocolate lavors the best but they also leave that taste. The best so ar is Designer whey, no funny after taste.

I'm not trying to be harsh, but there is no excuse for eating regular food before your surgeon allows it. You're on a strict post op diet to give your stomach time to heal. By not following that diet you're risking not only a slip but ripping the sutures holding your band in place.

Stick to your post op diet.

Mis73', i am sticking to my post op diet, i didnt say i ate anything i shouldnt have. I was just wondering why i was so hungry since i ate yogurt and Soup and it didnt satiate me. I know now that isnt the case for some at this point.

Hang in there! This was impossible for me too and i somehow got through it and you will too. I did cheat and make a milky scrambled egg three times totally against my nutritionists advice try to stick to it.

you are getting more hungry as you are healing and the swelling is going down. 100% normal....just gradually add more and more to your food intake per your dr's instruction. ...and if one thinks they (cant) then they are right........each day gets easier....pinky swears.

No I know you didn't Leslie did. That's why I quoted her post in my response. My response was to her, not you.

Oh I didn't mean to say you were thinking of cheating or that you strayed from the liquids.! I just know that's how I felt and it was a very difficult two weeks for me anyway. I was starving. You're doing great! Keep it up

Can someone tell me what it feels like when you start food. What is the full feeling like? I know i am just 4days post op and still sore but feel like i have a lump in my throat when aybe i drink too fast.

Are you serious? That's your response?

I was trying to help you from hurting yourself...but since you asked... it's obvious you're old enough though I'm now seriously questioning your maturity level.

Go ahead, do "what you feel like doing", however don't be shocked when you rip the sutures in your stomach or cause a slip because you weren't mature enough to do as your doctor instructed.

Good luck.
