Yes, girl, that first month is a bear!!! But you will be pleased about the how the weight slides off while you're eating your mushies. I actually had to start more solid food during the weeks 2-4 because I was so hungry (talked to my nutritionist first, of course). Did you know you don't have any saline in your band yet? I was surprised how many people didn't realize they don't get their first fill until the 6 week mark. That's why you're hungry at first. It does get better after they start adding saline to the band. Just hang in there. If you're like me, you'll be able to eat small amounts of almost anything by week 5. But beware carbs and grease! Some stuff goes down just fine but won't help you lose weight (like cheese, my kryptonite) :biggrin1: Good luck to you. I'm starting to realize nothing tastes as good as getting thinner feels!! (btw, I've got two kids and a high metabolism husband, too, so I know what it's like watching from the sidelines! It really is worth it).
