Hey everyone! Just wanted to check in and let you know how doing. I had lap band with plication and hiatal hernia repair on 4/3/12. I am currently down 19 lbs!! Super pleased. Recently started on my mushies. Surprisingly, my hunger has subsided. I'm drinking so much water and I keep my hands busy constantly so I think that has helped to keep food off my mind. My pain is gone. Still just a bit touchy now and then on my port site. Otherwise, banded life is awesome!!

Are you allowed protein shakes as well? Try spacing out your eating: so broth and then an hour later the shake. I realize you will be hungry after the broth but if you wait to have the shake it will help you with the mental game of knowing it's only another hour before you can eat again. Instead of it being 3-4 hours.
