well, it's great to hear so many people are in the same position as I am. I was banded on the 28th. In the last day or two, I've really started to get really hungry. I can deal with the mental cravings, it's the physical hunger pangs I'm struggling with. i'm supposed to be on clear liquids for another 2 days, then full liquids for a week & mush a week after that. I am going crazy over here! I'm so sick of drinking flat broth & crystal light all day long...I started sipping some creamier soups, but that doesn't help much. I guess I just need to chill out and relax.
