Is This Bandster Hell?!

So I am a little frustrated. I was banded two weeks ago. Up until a few days ago I had little interest in food. Started soft foods a few days ago and now I am hungry all the time. I have Protein with every meal plus milk between meals and I am still starving. It's like I only stay satisfied for a couple hours. Also having mild headaches. Is there something wrong with me or this bandster hell everyone talks about?

I just want to feel restriction and stop thinking about food all the time!

I am having 3 glasses of milk a day and water in between that, but I think I need to drink more. Gonna try that today. I got myself some crystal light.

I think drinking enough and keeping your mind occupied helps a lot. If I'm at home on my day off with not a lot going on I want to eat and food that counts helps too I still drink a Protein Shake

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
