I had band 12 days ago and i am eating food. is that ok I am hungry and i dont know if it is working? why am I so Hungry?

I had surgury on 9-23,fill in 10-3,...lost 26 lbs to date. Lucky for me i guess,.....anyway..My dr is awsome, he gave me a specific diet to follow post op. three days of clear liquids, five days of full liquid, five days of mushie food then regular food. Like you in the beginning i was starving but then i started to workout and lose weight soo i am much more motivated. Now when i go to the gym i see how many calories i am burning doing the exercise that I hate. you dont get restriction until the fill, but you do need to follow your journey...you did the surgury now follow through, it is not a magic pill. I have food cravings, but i am learning how to substitute foods for those cravings. I was sick this week today first day I can did not eat "normal",ie breakfast lunch snack dinner snack. I had a protein shake at one, then at six omg i was starved, made two eggs, cheese and sour cream, along with 4 ozs of onion cheese grits....I am still stuffed...not stuffed pleasently full. You have to figure out what works best for you. When I crave ice cream I eat a yo baby yougur-----made with real milk..That satisfies me or i will make a protein shake with ice cubes and half a bananna and i am tricking my mouth thinking i am drinking a milk shake. Hoope all goes well for you if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask..oh yeah be sure to drink at least 60 oz of water a day or you will get headaches
