Liquid Stage

Hello all, I am doing great, other than the liquid diet. I had the lap band and I am starving. I am so hungery. I only have 5 more days until my mushy stage YEA!!!!!. Does any one have any recipe's for the liquid stage??? I have been eating to much sweet stuff like sugar free pop sickles and Jello. Chicken broth is getting old and is not filling any way. Slimfast is also sweet. Can any one help???? Thanks Carie

Carrie, try www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com . It has some good suggestions and recipes

Wow, I thought we weren't supposed to be starving after the surgery?  Does anyone on this board know why she's starving?

It's the lap band. I probabley have my normal stomach until I get my first fill.

Hey Liz, how's it going? Until Carrie has her first fill she probably will be hungry. Everything she eats will pretty much go on through it until it is tightened up.

I agree it's probably the lap band. I had RNY and was NOT hungry..even now, it's rare that I do get hungry. I wish I had the list from Jess at work..it's at home in my binder. I had problems with everything tasting too sweet too. I used decaf Cain's tea and drank it hot and cold both..hot in the morning when I felt yucky. Crystal Light Early Sunrise Orange is great..reminds me of Tang (showing my age)..I used it in bottles of water.

I don't know about the hunger with the lap band I had the RNY and I don't have hunger but I would think you would until you have a fill. As far as the recipe's for liquid my granny fixed me some potato soup and I strained it then added some benaprotien to it and it was soooo good.

I just woke up this morning and the last thing i want is food.  I am drinking a Dasani right now and at 7 am I will take my pills and drink me a protein shake.  Granted I am not hungry right now but still I cannot wait to get to week 3 and eat some cottage cheese, green beans, and instant potatoes (and the other things they let us.  Granted I am just 3 days out but its a nice feeling to HAVE to eat rather than WANTING to eat.
