eating boullion AGAIN... is this normal to "eat" all the time the first week. I am getting in boullion, Water, sf popsicles and sf Jello. I feel like I am doing it ALL the time!!! Not that I am worried about weight gain, just wondering if anyone else "ate" all the time the week after surgery. I know I am suppose to be getting my water in and I have been so far. :clap2:

i drank a lot the first week and i also drank the terrible boullion. i remember thinking that i was not really starving but i had the habit of eating so often that i was still thinking of food. i also dreamt about steak and mashed potatoes. ha. that will pass. just get your Protein and fluids. dont push it. i had a yogurt smoothie 4 days after my surgery and got so sick . it was horrible. the worse puking i have ever done. i would hate to have anyone else go through that. i dont think about food anymore unless im starving or really hungry. i think the band breaks that addictive eating. of at least it did for me. food was what i did to calm down. i stress out sometimes. food would help me to crash and sleep. i wish you the best and try not to be too hard on yourself. it is so weird at first. so much to get used to. i was so happy about the band. i loved the whole experience. take it easy. cat

Are you getting in Protein? Not that there's anything wrong with lots of boullion, but you might be over-hungry if you're not getting all the protein you need.

I am only allowed Water, sf Jello, sf popsicles and crystal light that kind of flavored water. I dont get to start working on Protein yet I guess.Deanna
