I was banded on the 16th and hell yes im hungry too but its like all in my head or mostly in my head.I want a freaking burger or a taco but instead i drink sum broth or a Protein Shake and the hunger goes away for lets see about an hr!!!!so gud luck on this journey and i hope it all gets better next week wene we start our soft/mushy foods!!!

I was banded may 11th... I've been eating chobani vanilla yogurt and drinking carnation Breakfast essentials... I feel hungry every couple hours... Still trying to manage all my Protein and liquid I need for a day.

Now I am trying to plan my soft solid meals( starts Friday!) Not sure what I can and can't have... Waiting for my cookbooks I ordered.. hopefully can get some great ideas

I was banded on the 11th as well!!! To be honest I haven't felt hungry at all but I haven't felt full either. It really crazy!!!! I have my 3 Protein shakes a day all my liquids and I might have a Greek yogart in the evening if I don't have broth. Now tonight my husband brought me some egg drop Soup and I strained the eggs and it was delish!!!! I'm feeling great!!!!! I am some what nervous about starting soft foods on Friday. It sounds like our schedule as far as food is the same. Look forward to doing this journey with you.

Egg Drop Soup sounds yummy!! I was going to try Tomato Soup from applebees but I don't think it's made very healthy!.. definitely looking forward to this journey with you too. So glad I found this forum!! :-)

Was banded on the 18th. I can't do this liquid crap anymore, I am not a sweet eater and I have drank so much broth I think I am going to drown. I cheated and started my mushies on day 5 and so far so good. Anyone else have this kind of problem or suggestions.

I was banded the tenth also and did the same thing as you by starting mushy goods and I'm a-ok. I just had a follow up two days ago and they said I'm healing fine and said I could start soft to an extent:)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
