Okay so I have had nothing but broth, cyrstal light and Jello for the last 6 days and I am ready to lose it. I knew what I was getting myself into, this is no surprise, I guess I never thought it would be so hard. I just want to eat something, but I know that I can't, it's not even an option.

I'm going to the doctor tomorrow so I'm going to ask him if I can start eatting yogurt or apple sauce, or at least protien shakes, I am so weak. I need some food I can live on. I know I'm just ranting, but does anyone have a tool for this problem? Some thing to think about, something to do, some thing to drink or put in my mouth when my stomach starts to rumble and I start to bug out?

I know that in a couple days or a week or so I'll be laughing that I was such a wimp at day 6 but for right now my hunger pains are really and so are my mood swings.

i know the liquids part is kinda what im apprehensive about, i havent been banded yet. but still, even i do go crazy in the weeks following, ill just keep weighing myself... fight hunger with... lower numbers!

You should be able to have full liquids by now. Try Campbell's Soup in a sip cup and try Velvety Potato. I had some yesterday and was great and I got full off of less than 1/2 a can. Sip slow and enjoy!!! Try drinkable yogurts and protein shakes. They really help break the broth boreness!!!

If you need to stay on the liquid diet per doctor's orders I would see if there is a way you can at least add the Protein powder or protein shakes. This really helps with the hunger.

Even though the protein helps with the hunger, it does not help with the problem of lack of variety. For that I did use the method of chewing it up and spitting it out. It is a bit gross but it's also fairly effective. Just be careful, it's pretty easy to swallow a bit of solid food that way and that's not a good idea at this point.
