It gets easier, just hold on. I think that's the worst part of it is the liquid diet. Find something else to do, or get some sugar free gum or hard candy to suck on.

did they tell you Clear Liquids? or can u have thicker, creamy liquids?

they let me have creamy ones, and i found that campbells Soup at hand were a god send! I also made fat free yogurt smoothies with fruit-also very filling.

I can have broth, but no creamy Soups until 2 weeks post. I can eat yogurt and pudding htough. Seems kind of weird.

hmm.. well you could make crystal light slushies.. those were nice too , takes awhile to eat/drink so keeps your mouth occupied for a longer time

Have you tried sugar free popcycles? Warm herbal tea seemed to make me feel a little fuller than cold drinks. The Protein Shakes really helped me stay full longer. I still drink one to two every single day.

Good luck...u can do it, its hard though. The weight willl start melting off and once you feel that~ it really does get easier.

Well for me that is what it was but every doctor has a different plan but I would say that if you stick with the 64 ounces per day then yeah... you should be good... just make sure its Protein based to help curb the hunger...... Protein helps to curb that hunger..... good luck and welcome to lapband land!!!!! :blush: :thumbup::rolleyes2::thumbup:
