I am officially on Day 3 of my clear liquids post op. I really have not been hungry. I have wanted in my head to be able to chew on something but have resisted. I have drank more water than I thought possible and P'ing??? Hello... I feel like every 5 minutes I have to go. Honestly FOR ME... it is NOT AS BAD as people on here talked about. I almost backed out because of the stories I read. I am so very glad I did not. I am excited to move on to the next phase and get a fill, which won't be for at least a few weeks, but I can "feel" the weight coming off now, already. My rings are getting looser and when I put on a pair of jeans tomorrow I can not wait to see how differently they fit/feel...

You dont know how great it is to read your 3 day post op Blog. I have not yet had the surgery (should find out a date on the 25th) but I keep going back and forth if I should do it or not. But deep down i think I should.

Congrats on feeling good and you pair of jeans! I bet that feels soooo good! :0)

If you have any advise for a "soon to be banded or not person" please feel free to share!

Have fun!

I am also new, i was banded 1/12/10. I finally made it under 200 its been over 25 years since i weighed that. I am still pretty sore and am tyomg to drink the recommended amounts. last night i kept getting spasms. Is this normal and any sug on how to prevent them. Iam real light headed and feel my stomach growl but dont feel hungy???? Any sug on protein shakes and chewable vits???

I was banded on 01/12/10 too. I have been drinking all the liquids without any problems. Every now and then I get hungry - I am craving red meat and typically I never eat beef. Today I started drinking flavored water by Aqufina, and it has made a big difference. I weighed myself yesterday, after buying a new scale, and I have dropped 10 pounds so far. Does anyone else feel hungry every now and then?
