So hungry!

[PDXBandster 0]

Oh my gosh...I am SO HUNGRY. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I'm only on day 6 of my post-op diet. I have to be on all liquids for another whole week and I am about to lose it.

How do you guys do it? I'm so hungry. I got banded on the 18 and I dont have any restriction. I'm hungry and ready to eat some REAL food. I am so sick of Protein Shakes and Jello. :smile2:

Any advice for food to eat on an all liquid diet?

I felt the same way. I had surgery on the 17th and I am hungry. On the full liquid phase, you have more to chose from. I have been buying any kind of campbells Soups and putting them in the blender to liquify and drinking that. soo good. I also have sugar-free chocolate pudding, yogurt, popsicles, sugar-free fudgesicles. Try some new stuff and maybe you won't feel deprived. I also wasn't getting enough Protein and Water and I think that is why I was feeling so hungry.

I was banded on 7/15/08 and on the full liquids. I'm 9 days post opt. I cannot wait to get to some decent food. I just can't eat more than one serving of popcycles, yougurt, or sugar free pudding. I'm concentrating on Protein Shakes to keep my hunger at bay.

I was banded on July 21. I keep telling myself to stay focused on the goal. Yes, I'm a little hungry. When I am I just drink more Clear Liquids and it helps. Everyone said this wasn't going to be a cure all. I guess they were right (lol)!

4 weeks post op here and I woke up from surgery starving. Was starving for days and felt kind of out of my mind with hunger. I was furious about it too = it was all very ugly. Well - the time passed pretty fast and at 12 days I couldn't take it anymore and dove head first into some cottage cheese, pudding, cream Soups, etc (2 days early) I admit - I broke the rules and maybe damaged my band and all the money I spent - but I did it and thats the truth. It did go by real fast though. Just nap as often as possible......

Hey! Sorry, I remember that feeling. Try some cream of chicken Soup. Add a can of skim milk instead of Water when you heat. Also add a little garlic powder and sage. The taste is more satisfying this way. My 16 yr old liked it so much she took it to work for lunch the day I made it. I am sorry for your discomfort. My dr, fortunately, allowed me to move on to mushies after day 8, but each surgeon is different. Hang in there, it will be better!

I am on liquids for 2 weeks and can have creamy Soups and cream of wheat (watered down) can you have those items??? I was banded the same day but you sound like you are starving to death over there.
