HI I WAS REBANDED ON SATURDAY, STILL ON LIQUID DIET, HAVEN'T HAD ANY HUNGER YET....TRY TO KEEP BUSY, IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT A TWO WEEKS TO FORGET ABOUT FOOD, ITS NOT SO MUCH THE HUNGER BUT THE ANXIETY TO CHEW SOMETHING.... THIS IS MY SECOND BAND, I GOT THE FIRST IN 1999, HAD TO TAKE IT OUT 2 YEARS AGO....IT TAKES SOME TIME TO GET USED TO IT BUT YOU'LL GET THERE.
