I am so hungry. What do I do? Go on liquids to lose weight because I want to eat everything.

If you're hungry going on liquids would be totally counter productive because you'll just get hungrier.

Increase your protein' date=' it finds the hunger.[/quote']

Ok I will try that. Thank you

My girls are right, Protein, protein,protein.

Find a nice thick Protein shake that you like.

I use the chocolate body fortress whey powder from Walmart. 8oz of unsweetened almond breeze milk, 1 scoop of the whey powder with a little bit of ice and blend into a nice thick smoothy. It will give you 27grams of Protein. Healthy and filling.

I always feel hungry! I'm just glad that I no longer feel like I'm starving! However, I have never been able to tolerate fills. I'm working with my surgeon with that right now. I agree with everyone else, protien is the key. Stay away from the foods that don't keep you satisfied for very long! I love my sugar free Popsicles and sugar free pudding between meals when I get hungry. It makes me feel like I'm cheating without really cheating!

Eat! :) Just as the others have said. Possibly consider whether you are at correct restriction, or need to see your surgeon for an adjustment.

It's now 4pm where I am, I had some coffee this morning about 9am, went on a nice bike ride in the cold!! :( , and just now have the urge to have my first meal of the day. For me, the band does this, now that I have gotten to that restriction level.

I NEVER HAVE HEARTBURN/REFLUX, EVER. I don't get stuck, as long as I eat correctly. I just don't feel hungry all the time, like I did even two months ago.

It took me a loooooooong time to get to this point, but I'm in the green zone, no doubt. And loving it! Best of luck to you, and NEVER, EVER give up on you! YOU can do this. :)

Bandster Hell is ......well hell! Really focus on getting Protein in. This helps me alot! I know it seems intolerable....but give it some time. Try and thwart your attention to something else. Sometimes if I am obsessing about food...things feel bleak. Try and keep busy. But eat your protein!

I just noticed you are 6wks post op. I would try eating more solid Protein, instead of Protein Shakes. Solid protein will stay with you longer.

chicken, tuna, eggs,lean meats etc...

      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.

      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!!
