My hunger started coming back last night and today it is here with a vengence. I am on liquids until 1/4/08 and I don't know if I could last. My stomach gurgling and gas seems to be a 100% improvement from yestarday.

So far I have been eating SF Jello, Protein shakes and Water. I wish I could be on mushies!

Any advice?

LMAO:biggrin1:

I get the Kids Dannon Danimals yogurt smoothies. They have LESS sugar than the adult version and more calcium. Plus, they have LESS calories. They do the trick for me. My doc also let me have sugar free sherbet that helped a bunch. I could have cream soups, so I went to Panera and got broccoli soup. I brought it home, pureed it and added a little milk to make it thinner. I also LOVE SF strawberry-kiwi jello. My doc let me have SF pudding (dulce de leche is awesome!) and SF apple sauce (I buy organic, SF). And, if you are truly desperate, try taking chicken noodle soup, take out about 1/2 of the noodles and add either FF milk or a little water and puree it. I can only have 2 oz of any calorie-rich foods at a time. I also got Simply Juice in Orange and Grape and take 2 oz shots of those when I get hungry. It helps TREMENDOUSLY! Good luck!

that sound so good

Hey UG,

How are you going, your question seems to have got lost in the discussion. How are you coping? Are you still hungry or have you found a solution? We are all different and what works for one person doesn't always work for another. Let us know how you are doing.

I am doing well. Today was my first post-op appointment. My Doctor is advancing me to the pureed phase 1 week early!

What I used to get by was New-whey Protein shots (taste like a Jello shot), cream of mushroom soup (with extra non-fat milk to make it thin), and SF Jello. I also found a Protein shake from Naked juice with 38g of protein.

Great news about the mushies - so much more to choose from and so much more taste. Stick with it - not long now till you're back onto real food.

I am so happy for you ultrageek I know it was hard.

I was banded 12/17/07 and am on liquids for a month. I have been doing 50grams of protein in my shakes.... I got the Isopure at GNC it's wonderful. I have had some reg food here and there, boiled egg and so on. I have added in babyfood. It is easier for me than to puree stuff. I eat half of a 2.5 ounce container and it has no additives. I started adding that because I am tired of Liquid mashed tatoes and soups. Broth works well! You can do it!

I had Dr John Marsden also. I was banded on 12/21. Yesterday I started softed mushie food because I just couldn't take liquids anymore. So far, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, even tiny pieces of chicken found in chick fa la chicken burritos chewed about 50 times went down just fine.
