I start my liquid diet on the 26th. I am not really nervous yet. I'm sure I will be as it gets closer. I'm really excited for a new start!!

"Growling" from your stomach is not necessarily hunger pangs. You are eating less and not filling your stomach so it is shrinking. When you get those feelings you should drink water and wait 10 minutes. If it passes then it wasn't hunger. Make sure you actually "feel" hungry and are not just in a habit of eating every so often, I know I have that problem. =D If you are less than 2 weeks in, I would cut out the eggs and fruit, that could be your problem. You may not be feeling it right after you eat because it is sitting in your upper stomach for a while and when it starts to pass through the band it is having trouble and that may be what's causing the nausea. Good luck!

Congratulations! I am super excited, too! Good luck and keep us all updated!

Hi all! After only a few weeks I have already been scheduled for surgery on October 7th! Very excited! Anyone else having surgery soon!?
