Not right after surgery. i kept drinking the protein shakes they filled me up. You don't wanna mess ur band up. Its very hard I know! Try very hard. Its an emotional game. Sometimes it may be headhunger. I'm sorry ur going thru this.

It is going to take a lot of willpower. Remember to HALT.

Ask yourself.. Am I Hungry?

Am I Angry?

Am I lonely or bored?

Am I tired?

I do know that this is normal to feel this way before your first fill. However, you want to remember to not cause your band to slip. It needs time to heal. When you eat it causes your stomach to spasm to help digest the food. Please take time to put yourself first and don't eat the things that you should not eat. Dig deep and find the willpower!

I am 1 week post op and I am very hungry too. I drinik protein shakes and drinks but the hunger pains kill me. Im so grumpy and light headed. I started myself on some mushies. I had some refried beans and pea soup. I feel much better when I eat those. Both provide protein and it is not hard on the band. Im too scared to try real food. I paid 13K for this and Ill be damned if Im ganna mess it up. Good Luck to you.
