Hunger? No - Yes? Protein shake? Milk Shake? UGH!!!!

Day 5 post op and I am doing well - kind of. I am on full liquids and am SO confused. I can have protein shakes, milk shakes, and liquids that I can pour the consistency of pancake batter. However, everyone talks about being too full or not being able to drink. I have the opposite - I have no issues with drinking liquids - and am never full. What is going on?? I am down to 185 pounds - losing around 1/2 a pound a day which is great - but am I ever going to feel full? :thumbup:

its because liquids dont work with the band, it gives it no restriction, once you start eating normal food again you definatly will be able to feel it.

Raf,

I'm right there with you. Started getting hungry 3 days post-op, like really hungry! Just had my two week follow-up and starting the pureed diet. Hang in there - I am pretty sure it is all downhill from surgery!
