Still Starving!

[traveler 0]

Thanks everyone, I have been drinking 3-4 Protein Shakes, about 4 ounces of juice, 2 liters of Water and coffee (about 4 ounces) I am constantly drinking something. The day of the surgery when I woke up, I was so hungry, my stomach was growling. I am worried that the band is not on right. I can not feel it at all (Some people posted that they could feel it in the beginning) I am not vomiting or in pain and I just burp some after drinking (nothing comes up with the burp.) Do you think I am safe to try some mushie foods? Thanks for all your input!

I just posted on your other thread, but here's what I said:

I think you should follow your surgeons instructions. Did he/she give you a list of foods and tell you how long to be on them? You definitely don't want to risk having complications. Good luck!

You are right, I keep telling myself that of all the important health issues or any issues in fact in my life, this is one time that I must take very seriously. If I have to suffer for two or three weeks, it will be well worth it in order to prevent complications. Thanks for being being so sucinct.

Traveler,

How long have you been banded and are you sure it's not head hunger as apposed to "hunger" "hunger". I agree with klpdbl, but once you distinguish the two it becomes a little easier.
