This morning I woke up feeling so much better. I was able to get up without too much discomfort and I only had to get up once during the night. So funny, I forgot to add that I came home from surgery and gained 9 lbs. My sweet husband, who is a nurse anesthetist, reminded me that I had 4 bags of IV during the day so I had a lot of water weight on me. I'm down a couple pounds, so I'm not worried.

I'm extremely worried by my hunger today! Yikes! My doc has me on 4 oz of full liquids ex: pudding, soup, milk, etc. Then snack 4 oz of protein shake. Lunch 4 oz full liquids, snack 4 oz protein shake. Dinner 4 oz full liquids. Holy crap, I'm freaking starving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did find people who had my problem, so I guess it's normal, but, I THOUGHT the band was supposed to supress hunger!!!! oh well, this too shall pass...... right?

Rhonda(Arb) is out of hospital and doing fine. She had surgery today.

Try drinking Isopure. It has 40 grams of protein per bottle and it keeps the hunger down. Look for them in the health food stores. They are a little expensive but so worth it. Good luck.

Hello Knrpick,

When did you have your surgery? It sounds like we had ours on the same day. I did mine on Monday, July 13th. I too am starting to feel hunger today but not too bad for now. I have been drinking Boost to help with the protein but am thinking I will check out Isopure as Utahchick suggested. I am so excited about this journey!!! I wish you lots of luck and look forward to hearing from you on the blog.

Yup, I had mine on the 13th as well. I can't stand isopure, but I've decided to add more protein to my day, we will see what happens.

What kind of liquids are you doing?
