Hi everyone. i've been having the same problem. I was banded on the 12th, and I am starving. i just figured it was because i'm on liquids, and not regular food. i'm glad ro know i'm not the only one going through it and it's normal. my only difference though, is that my post-op instructions don't have me on liquids for 2 weeks. my instructions have starting on soft foods at week 2. i was exctied when i saw that, but i may rethink that after reading what everyone else said.
