Post op day 4...hungery?
I was banded 1/25/10. Until today I hadnt felt really hungery and had been doing well with the full liquids. Today I am miserable. I had to cook for my family and it killed me. I need suggestions please..I have to get past this bc i have been so grumpy today trying to deal with this. What can
I do to satisfy my hunger without going off track? Please help.

I would really urge you to go super low carb until you are on real food. The blood sugar spikes are going to be a killer from the carbs.
Since I have a sleeve I am not over producing Ghrelin, the hunger causing hormone so I don't really experience hunger anymore. BUT... if I overdo with white carbs I get that old nagging hunger again.

Oh girl I feel your pain!I was Banded on 1-21..a few days before you and on the 4th day I almost died of hunger! What helped me was egg drop soup!!! Best thing ever!!! Plus with the little bit of egg you get protein! My dr okayed it and it was amazing! As of yesterday I got put on very mushy foods and its soooo much better! For breakfast I had a protein shake...lunch tuna and dinner pinto beans :)
Monday I'll get to mushy foods! I cannot wait!

Yup! The swelling is subsiding and your tummy will get hungry now. Just sip all day - and try to get your protein in as well as possible to keep you satiated. This is normal - it's called, "Bandster Hell." The time after surgery before you get your first fill! Hang in there! You can do it!

Revised to the Sleeve after losing 271 lbs with the LapBand.
I'm on day 5 post op and I was able to eat cream of potato soup (thinned of course). It totally hit the spot. Try tomato soup, V8, cream or celery, chicken or mushroom (thinned). Also I had Real Italian Ice cups (made with Splenda) from Aldis pr real fruit juice popcicles. Or to curb my hunger I'll make a protein shake and sprinkle a little bit of instant coffee in the cup. Delish.
Hang in there hun!

just 'keep your eye on the prize" as they say :)
not looking forward to that myself
and a bit confused- some folks aren't hungry at all after surgery- some are.... so do you feel any restriction at all?
my day is tuesday! :)
getting excited
being on these boards is good for me- makes me feel more and more excited about it every day
!
not focused on the fact that i haven't eaten today- or tomorrow.....
