I was banded on the 11th and I am still feeling pain in my tummy. However, I am not hungry. Surprisingly I haven't been hungry at all, keeping up with the amount of liquids that my doctor wants me to have has been really tough for me. My doctor is also allowing me full liquids like yogurt, but I an only eat about 1/2 cup or I am overly full. I ordered a product called Beneprotein, it's made by Nestle. It was recommended by my doctor because you can put in in anything and there are zero carbs (most other products are really high carbs and can actually make you gain weight)and it fills you up. So maybe try that in your chicken broth, soups, yogurt, and juices. Good luck! I'm on this journey with you!
