Clynn Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I didn't feel any hunger until after the first week but then man oh man did my tummy make its presence known. Try some drinkable yogurt, I liked the Go-Gurt brand. It's got some protein in it. Also, go to a grocery store where they have soup pots out with soup in there that's been simmering all day so everything is nice and soft. Load up, bring it home, then run it through the blender until it is the consistency of milk (no chunks!). You can run it through a sieve if you have to. All those soup ingredients blended up equal vegetably meaty goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueskies7890 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 You're lucky you can at least have Slim fast lol... I was banded on 2/28 and I'm only allowed clear liquids and skim milk for TWO weeks! So yes I understand what you mean about being hungry! I have found tho that if I do a "pre-emptive strike" so to speak, I will be less hungry. So I try to eat something every 3-4 hours, instead of three meals a day. Good luck to you!
