How many days after surgery did you start to feel hungry?

Hi. I was banded on 9-20-10. And today is the 1st day I feel hungry. I'm also very tired of Protein Shakes tastes, chicken broth and popsickes. Keep thinking about ham and spinach. Arrrr.... According to my doctor I still have 2 more weeks of liquid diet, not sure if I can do this. I'll call the dr.'s office on Monday for advice. Hang in there, we're in the same boat.:biggrin:

Banded today and hungry today!!! Not starving but I really want a piece of toast or a cracker to crumble in my broth! I can't start Protein for a week which sucks beause it seems to be helping others.

Alycopp, a little suggestion the nurse at the Dr. office gave me. I too am so sick of the broth, but also the sweet tasting drinks (SF popsicles, Crystal Light, G2). She said to get a cracker, I used a rosemary triskit, she used Cheez-Its, and break it into a small square (broke my triskit into 4 pieces). Then put it in your mouth and suck on it. Get all the salty taste out of it and then spit it out. She also said you can take a very small bit of Peanut Butter and swirl it around until it is VERY liquid and then swallow. This kinda helps with the cravings of something different.

I was hungry pretty quickly- I'd say about 4 or 5 days after surgery.

Oh I feel for all of u hungry people! I am 5 mo out so I can tell u it dies get better . I was starving on day 5 post op. Like gonna loose my mind & be committed starving! I cheated & ate runny mashed potatoes for 2 days until I.saw my doc & he said I could officially advance to mushies. I would say by about day 18 or so I was pretty much back on a reg diet & I had to wait a month for.my first fill. Looking back it doesn't seem so bad.... However @ the time it was truely hell!

I cleared out my fridge & cupboads before surgery so I wouldn't have ne temptation... My poor hubby had a rough couple of wks too! Lol
