Oh wow. I know exactly what you are going through!! I was also banded on the 24th. For the first time lately I've been feeling hungry. However, when I start to eat soup or something. I don't want it. I've noticed that when you drink a lot of Water and Protein shakes, it tends to get better. You aren't as hungry. Although trust me, like you I've never been more excited to eat mashed potatoes soon. LOL
Keep up the good work though! As much as you want food now, with the weight loss and how we will all be in the future it will be all worth the starving for two weeks =)
