I was banded June 22 and I gotta tell you, I was starving by the 3rd day. I just drank my fluids and made up my mind that it was ok to be hungry. I guess I just got used to the feeling and now I kinda like the hunger feeling. My surgeon has me on 4 weeks of clear fluids. YES! You read right. I have done pretty good. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks and today I broke down and had some cream soup and a Protein shake. Now I go full fluids for 2 weeks, then mushies for 2 weeks. Yah! I was not required to do a pre op diet, so since my banding on June 22 (as of today) I have lost 37 lbs.
