I got banded on the 12th. I'm meeting my liquid and protein intake for the day and still feel hungry....is this normal??? I dont' know what to do, I don't want to go over my protein for the day so I just keep drinking, but still hungry.

thanks everyone! You're kind words mean a lot. It so hard some days, people stare at you for having a liquid diet, yesterday one of the nurses aides laughed at my meal they served cause it was pureed chicken with gravy. I'm just overly sensitive, which I never am sensitive, I guess cause it's such a big change. I hit my liquid intake today. so that's good. Thanks again, you guys are the best!

Still emotional, but I made it through. Home now, having trouble meeting my liquid and protein goals, but working on it. Hope everyone else is doing well that got banded this week.

thanks everyone, you guys made me feel better. I wish I had known about this group in the beginning of the process. Lots of luck to everyone else getting banded this week.

I've had other surgeries, so it's not the procedure itself that worries me. I've been so emotional for the last few days, and I guess it's nerves. I hope I can do this, part of me just wants to say forget it, but then the hope of actually being at a normal weight for the first time since kindergarden is really exciting. IDK

My surgery is on the 12th too! It's freezing in NY, I keep getting worried I'm gonna get sick too. Goodluck! Let me know how yours goes.

Congratulations on your banding! Glad to hear it went ok. I get banded on Wednesday the 12th and am nervous. I have had 2 csections and my galbladder removed previously, and I can tell you, feeling tired is normal, and leave the errands for next week, its really important to get your rest now. I hope you feel better
