Hey Emmy, How many days post op are you? In the beginning it is normal for your stomach to growl. No one ever told me why but my logo was it was my lower stomach adjusting to my pouch. Once I started eating solid food that pretty much stopped unless I get real hungry and forget to eat and than I think it is telling me to feed myself. Make sure you stay hydrated, always good to keep some liquids in your hand all day long. The exercise will come. Keep up the good work.

@love I am 4/5 days post op now.... I had surgery Wed. I don't know if you are supposed to cont that day or not. Thank you for the motivation and information.

Keep drinking your water, It may be a bit to early for the gym. at that stage I was eating a lot of Egg Drop Soup, (High Protein) Just stick to it, these first few weeks are a big time for weight loss and adjusting to the band. Do not rush it ( YOU WILL EAT AGAIN!) Trust me, I wish someone had told me that in the beginning. You may be hungry so try to keep hydrated and go to the Chinese take out and try the Egg Drop Soup!

Take Care ROSS THE BOSS

Thanks ross I have never had egg drop soup ... will have to try I will keep you aprised. Grits are on my diet and they are delicious ... as close to "real food" as I can get at this point...do I have to blend the egg drop soup?
