I'm one week in and I'm not on a liquid diet. Definitely talk to your doctor about why you're so hungry. I'm sure everyone has different reactions. I know I'm still having trouble figuring out when I'm hungry and when I'm not. Everything feels weird. N. in there. It'll probably take some time to figure it out. In the meantime, try eating something better for you than a hot dog, at least. we'll get the hang of it sooner or later.

This has been such a helpful post for me. I had my banding yesterday and am experiencing everything you described. I don't have any pain, but more of a pressure in my chest and back. Keeping a heating pad on when lying down and taking short walks around the house have been helping. I'm hoping the gas will subside so I can tell what my stomach needs. I'm afraid to have anything other than water. I've had about 2oz of protein shake and it's stayed down fine. I'm guessing that's a good sign.
