How long do you have to be on liquids? My surgeon had a very short (can't remember for sure but think it was like 3 or 4 days) liquid stage. Then the next 5 or so days it was runny solids, runny potatoes, Soup, etc..

I didn't make it all the way through.....felt the same way you do! I broke down one night and ate about 5 micro-mini ravioli. I chewed really good, or shall I say mushed it up! Was perfect, didn't take much to hit the spot, didn't hurt anything and let me get back on track the next morning.

This worked for me, not saying you should or shouldn't, just what I did that helped. Good Luck....the liquids won't last forever!

I am with Jack...I was on complete fluids...anything you can see through for 2 weeks. Then "full fluids" for 2 weeks. This included scrambled eggs. Jello and things like that. I didn't have the urge to chew. I enjoyed the whole process and thought wow I am really going to do this thing. I say...if you want to chew....run, lift weights, exercise. Take your mind off the urge to consume calories. Its boredom not hunger. If you know the dynamics of the band you will realize that the signal of hunger is no longer sent to your brain due to the pressure on the outer part of your stomach. It tells the hypothalemus (sp) that you are always already full. Mind over matter sometimes I think....keep up the good fight.
