I never thought this would be so hard for me, before I was banded I wasn't this hungry or weak. I know I was just banded like five days ago but this is so hard or maybe I'm just weak, I know you all did it, so I feel like such an ass for feeling like this. I am trying so hard, I guess I'm not as strong as I thought I was. I keep thinking I did the wrong thing by being banded, but it's probably just the hunger talking. I sound so disgusting right now. and the self loathing isn't helping one bit.

Thank you everyone! You have no idea how much waking up to these messages helped me. I had a terrible night. I was hungry, in pain and it was a birthday in my family so everyone was running around eating cake and all this good food and I was sitting there sipping on Water. I'm still not 100% today, but much better than I was last night. I know I am going to be happy when this is all over, I just guess the hardest thing for me is that I haven't been feeling full and I'm so scared that it's going to always be like this and I am going through this for nothing. I guess I need to concentrate on healing like everyone says. We can get through this, I can, everyone else can and has and it will all be worth it. Again thank you all so much for your kind words. Feel free to add me I really need a support system cause I'm really alone at home <3

Hello everyone, My name is Erica, I am new here. I am 25 years old - I was just banded on Monday ( 7-18-11 ) so, I'm on my fourth day and I have to say this liquid diet is KILLING me. I'm always hungry and I'm drinking all the Protein and all the amounts of Fluid I'm supposed to have, I guess it's normal to be hungry, but I'm going crazy !! I never though I'd be so pumped to get to eat mushy/pureed food !! LOL Still a week and a half before I can. *SIGH* I don't have a large support team so I figured I'd join here and maybe meet some new people. well, it's nice to meet you all

Thank you !!! I am trying but I am soooo hungry with just the liquids lol

Thank you I have no real support team, my family is here but they don't really think I made the right choice, they think I should have just kept on a diet. It'd be really great to talk - and same for you message me anytime !!

would LOVE that -- add me as a friend and you can private message me ! we can def do this together !! I have no real support team so it is great I am meeting some really nice people here

Hi everyone !! Banded on the 18th here -- struggling with this liquid diet, but down 9 lbs already ! hoping to make new friends here and someone to share this journey with.
