Hi everyone I has my surgery on 1/22. I'm still on liquids and my Dr said that I have to wait till the next vist to start eating solid. My appointment is 3/12. That is for my first fill. Right now I'm always hungry after an hour. I try to drink alot of water but my stomach keeps growling what should I do. Please help.:cry

If you're hungry, eat. Your body needs to heal and you need nourishment to do that. Normally hunger doesn't recede until restriction has started, and that's probably not happening until your fill. So until then, moderate what you eat, but don't keep yourself from eating because you believe you shouldn't be doing it. Especially not while you're healing.

WELCOME TO BANDLAND.. I hope to join you soon!

What helped my hunger was creamed soups and protein shakes. You still are freshly banded. Your stomach has to heal so try to stay with liqueds just improvise. How about Campbell Selects soups they are pretty good. Hang in there it will all be worth it....Keep us posted. Kelley

I picked up the Campbells Selects the other day and tried it and tasted great. I thank all of you for your help and suggestions. They mean alot too me. I'm looking forward to my first fill can't wait!

Definitely creamy soups. Just avoid the meat and eat around it. It should satisfy you. It worked for me. Good luck.

Thanks Julie. How Are You Doing Now? I Can't Believe The Weight You Lost. You Must Look Awesum Now

I was bannded on Jan 23,2007. I have am eating scrambled eggs, Tuna, baked fish adkin snack bars. Are you dinking Protein shakes? I usually drink one for Breakfast. If you are hungry try some eggs or something soft like eggs.:hungry: Water will not stop you from being hungry.

Welcome to LBT.

Maybe I am weird, but ice chips seemed to curb my appetite.

Also, I found out that walking cut my hunger.

Good luck on your journey.

Hi Christine and welcome to the board. Congratulations on your new journey. You are 2 weeks post op, I would think that full liquids would be ok now, creamy Soups (strained of course), oatmeal, Protein shakes. Hope this helps. Good luck!!:biggrin1:

Hi everyone,

I just want to say I'm doing really good. Weighed myself today and all together I lost 30 lbs. I'm starting to feel good about myself.

If have a question. Anyone that had the Lap Band surgery in Boston can you let me know what your doctor's name is? My Operation Manager's, close friend is starting the process and her Primary care doctor is at Mount Auburn. I told her about this Web Site and how great it is. Please let me know.

Thanks

Chris

welcome

hope you find it welcoming
