Hi. I am new to this site and very grateful that I found you all. I had my lapband surgery on Thursday the 31st. I am starving! I have been Hungry since Sat. His clear liquid diet is killing me. I go to my Dr. Tomorrow. Hopefully I can make it to the 1 week mark where I can at least have protein shakes and creamy soups. Help! Did I make a mistake?

I had the sleeve, so I am not qualified to give you suggestions. However, I wish you the best and good luck.

I had my surgery on Thursday as well, and I have done good so far, but I know before I can eat soft foods I'm going to be so hungry.

So you have been experiencing hunger on the clear liquid diet as well? That is good to know that I am not the only one. Like I said before, I think I will be ok when I canst least have a Protein shake, healthy smoothies and creamy Soups.

Hi , I also had mine done on the 31St and I'm experiencing similar hunger jabs. What are you eating / drinking ATM ? I'm finding a coffee with little splash of skim milk helps.. But yesterday I had about 2 tablespoons of yoghurt which helped to. Try filling up on water. Boring I know but hopefully time goes fast , I simply cannot wait to have a chicken salad !

Thanks. Since you and I have the same surgery day, tomorrow is 1 week. What are you planning to eat/drink? Cream of mushroom Soup sounds good per my doc. I was hoping to make a homemade smoothie.

Hi there, the lapband is Adjustable, which means it needs to be adjusted -- it's great to have the surgery done but until you reach the green zone it's just another diet. Fills are required to get to the place where your appetite is dimmed.

It will take time,and you will get over this phase. Follow doctors orders and you will make it. Welcome to the group.good luck.

Do it ! I had a smoothie yesterday, just a light one nothing thick . Think it was strawberry, banana, kiwi fruit and coconut Water to thin in out, I felt so much better, I had one for brekkie this morning, peach , half an orange half a banana, and thin yoghurt, I couldn't eat it all but it was amazing .. Just.listen to your body, every one is different .. I've seen lots of people getting hammered for not following the guidelines but in the end of the day it's your body. For us new to this it's a learning experience , do try enjoy it. Soup is fantastic I'm onto cream of soups and I've got so much more energy. 1 week today yay

Keep your eye on the prize and remember why you did this. It has been a long time since I walked in the similar shoes as you all but I did it just as we all have to. This is the tough part and it will only get better from here. It is so worth it. Be strong and push through. You're nearly there. Best wishes!!
