Well it has been a week since I have been banded and I must say it's not the way I thought it would be. I am starving!!!! I am sticking to the liquid diet like I should be but I am always hungry and I don't have any restriction. Is this normal??? Will I get the restriction I need once I get my fill?

the blogs that I have read you hear most people say that they have no restrictions and are starving,where the doctor has you on liquid diet,I would have some eggdrop soup or some french onion or something good that wont go against what he tells you you can have,,,

I want to congradulate you on having your surgery,I've read several of your Blogs..keep up your post on your weight lost because your Blogs are encurraging to others,.good luck with your weight lost,I havn't had my surgery yet I am anxious but paitently waiting....camille01

Yes, I was starving 1 week post op too! I added soft boiled eggs and some soft foods like cottage cheese and non-fat refried beans for just one meal and it really helped. I had my 2 week checkup and he said everything was fine, to keep eating the mushy foods and try to stick to proteins first - be sure to include protein drinks, soups like tomato and french onion. Check with your doctor on starting a couple of mushy soft foods. I'm still hungry this week as well -- won't get a fill until January 15! So just trying to make good choices and limit portions.

Pray and be patient. You had this surgery for change but you must do your part. I had the surgery Dec. 10, 2010. I am not per say hungry but I think the mind and stomach play against one another. When you feel hungry are you hungry or is your mind saying boy im hungry. I try and feel my time working or thinking about other things. I eat my share of sugar free fruit bars they really help. How much have you lost thus far.

I weighed in yesterday and I have lost between 9-10lbs....

I'm excited and with results like this I care nothing about food or eating. I know the liquids get old but it's all worth it in the end....

Stay strong you can defeat this ugly monster named hungerB)

Hey,

I too got hungry after a few days...I had a scrambled egg and couldn't finish the whole egg...I then moved on to mashed potatoes and creamy soups...Once the swelling goes down from surgery you lose a lot of the restriction - I'm now being careful until my 1st fill which is tomorrow - YAY!

Good luck.
