eating boullion AGAIN... is this normal to "eat" all the time the first week. I am getting in boullion, water, sf popsicles and sf jello. I feel like I am doing it ALL the time!!! Not that I am worried about weight gain, just wondering if anyone else "ate" all the time the week after surgery. I know I am suppose to be getting my water in and I have been so far. :clap2:

i drank a lot the first week and i also drank the terrible boullion. i remember thinking that i was not really starving but i had the habit of eating so often that i was still thinking of food. i also dreamt about steak and mashed potatoes. ha. that will pass. just get your protein and fluids. dont push it. i had a yogurt smoothie 4 days after my surgery and got so sick . it was horrible. the worse puking i have ever done. i would hate to have anyone else go through that. i dont think about food anymore unless im starving or really hungry. i think the band breaks that addictive eating. of at least it did for me. food was what i did to calm down. i stress out sometimes. food would help me to crash and sleep. i wish you the best and try not to be too hard on yourself. it is so weird at first. so much to get used to. i was so happy about the band. i loved the whole experience. take it easy. cat

Hey thanks cat...I am using the Better than Boullion...which is ALOT better than the cubes...but still..I just wanted to see if everyone else was "eating" all the time too under a week out. Thanks for the advice!! Deanna

Are you getting in protein? Not that there's anything wrong with lots of boullion, but you might be over-hungry if you're not getting all the protein you need.

I am only allowed water, sf jello, sf popsicles and crystal light that kind of flavored water. I dont get to start working on protein yet I guess.Deanna
