I know this seems bad, but it WILL get better! Make sure to drink your Protein and drink your Water. That was one thing that I have had to learn the hard way. I seem to be hungry but when I drink some liquid, I realize that my body was really thristy. I have a hard time telling the difference so I am training myself to not eat until I have consumed X amount of liquid. My dry lips are thanking me for this as I was dehydrating myself. Good luck hon!

Sweetie, we all go through it! You're not alone! Just stick to the plan. You're probably still on liquids right? Drink those protein shakes, plenty of water, sf Popsicles, decaf tea and coffee. Tell us a little more about what's going on with you. Maybe we can offer more advice or tricks to get you through this tough patch. Breath! It's going to be ok. Peace.

Thank u guys, I am on mushy foods n I have been eating beans, mash potatoes, yogurts, jellos, puddings, teas, water, broth, cheese,bananas, n eggs even sf popsicles n sf ice creams. But i feel like I need more. I made chicken soup for dinner but i can only drink the broth

Yes...we all know how you feel. And at times I've given in and eaten and suffered the consequences. Try to distract yourself when you feel like that. And remember we are trying to eat to live not living to eat!

Hi there. I have no intention to attack you and I certainly NO ONE would on this tool/link. We should all be a support to each other. I had the lap band for 7 years. I no longer have it and I am doing RYGB in 5 days. I am guessing you are "tight" with your current fill now. Perhaps that is what is making your not being able to take vitamins the issue? I am guessing you might be having issues with either the size or the texture (dryness) of the pills themselves? An option would be to go liquid or chewable/gummy. Check with your doctor on your options. I would say drink TONS OF Water even more that you might be already. If you are 200 pounds drink half your body weight in water daily, in oz....so 100 oz. You can convert that

to accomodate your current weight. That water will help you in the hunger deptartment. Also, if you think you are stressed (which it sounds as though you are), try to do something to lighten your stress level. sleep, walk, talk, type on here, journal, volunteer, chew gum etc. it may be that you are just so frustrated and stressed that everything is tight and swollen inside and your band is responding that way. I hope this passes soon and you get the benefits from the band/tool that you are expecting...

Are u lap-band or RNY?? I though you were RNY? I may have mis read. So confused :-/

I am RNY

I am RNY

I wondered. Next to your name it says LapBand patient? So, I assumed. My bad.

It does? Sorry, how can I change that if u can help me.

I found chicken broth curbs my appetite as my pre meal drink.

also. try cream of chicken Soup.. pea/lentil soups( if you like them)

i was exactly like that at 3 weeks however i couldnt eat eggs or chicken.

it does get better. just try thicker liquids.

Mushy and liquid stages are hard...at three weeks I was so ready for anything with texture. I ate a lot of spicy foods and then my first bite of real food was Nirvana. You got this! Hang in there.

What vitamins are you taking? Why can't you take them? Is it a texture thing, so they taste bad, are you throwing them back up?

I found the three weeks in was the hardest for me. You may do better of you stay away from everyone when they are eating so you don't feel so bad and tempted to eat real food. It won't be long now you'll be on more textures. Be patient w yourself. This is all new and 90% of it is psychological. Hugs!

I wasnt allowed vitamins til my 4th week, chewable once again every plan is different. I had my first egg at 2 weeks and it was like heaven lol but remember these stages are for a short time (I know feels like forever) and keep yourself busy head hunger can play a number on you

I am on flinstones chewable my 15yr old takes them like candy but me I dislike the taste of them, when I try taking them right away i feel nauseus just to get a little taste. Even the disolvable B6/B12 i cant tolarate the cherry taste to them anymore. I do try to stay away from my family when they r eating n they also try to eat when I am eating or after I eat so that they dont tempt me with their food n i am doing pretty good with staying strong but sometimes its just so hard on me.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. I am also 3 weeks post op RNY too. I'm not sure what sort of foods you can have - your stage 2 sounded like my stage 3 and what I was discharged on at the hospital. I'm on soft puréed now and have about 6 days left. I have been eating Turkey chili with Beans, shredded cheese and sour cream like it's my biz!!! I don't know if you can have that but it makes me feel semi-human. I totally understand where you are coming from.

Keep drinking. I feel like I can never get enough Water in! Hang in there We are in this together!!
