Hi everyone, I am exactly 2 weeks post op and am starting to get hungry. I also the SF Jello and puddings and it seems to help. 2oz of soup! I can eat a whole cup, I am getting nervous that I am just going to go back to eating all the time. A whole will usually do me good for like 2-3 hours but then I want more. Is this normal. and Does anyone know what the normal weight loss or average is for 2 weeks post? Some insite would be cool. thanks:drool:oh yeah, Lot s of water!!

Hi Everyone, I am new to the site and jsut wanted to say Hi. I was banded on 8/20 and am just starting to feel better. I had this terrible burning itching pain where the port was implanted and it stuck out or felt like a golf ball. I guess it was just healing cause the swelling has gone done and the pain is subsiding. I have started he mushies today and put some chicken and green beans in a blender and it was the best meal I ever ate! However, I am having trouble getting enough protein in so if anyone has suggestions I would love to know and also I have some ricotta sheese but I have no clue what to mix it with the make it more interesting. Any ideas?? Well there's my intro talk to you all soon. Elizabeth

Thank you everyone for the good ideas. I was done by Dr. Randall in Medford, he is great. What a long strange trip this has been. As far as the protien powder goes where do I get that? Is it flavor less so that it can be added to anything? I really did not know how hard it was going to be to try to eat so much and get all the protien in that I need while my stomach is full, it has been a challenge but a good one that I am ready to take on!
