Blimey, you are like me although the hunger seems to have started very soon with you. I am a big believer incommon sense and ate quite a bit after about 5 days as I had no problems eating solid food at all. I rang my consultant quesltioning whether I should be able to do this and he said I was very naughty and to stop and get back onto liquids. After the first fill (September) I would feel more restriction than now. It seems we will have to use good old willpower for now. I never thought I would get hungry at this stage after the op but we are not alone it seems.

Hello Hope, thanks for all that, the food you mention I have never heard of here in the UK so I will look at the links you kindly sent. I have accepted your offer of friendship but bear with me as this site is a bit confusing to me. I have not found my way around yet as there seem to be many topics and each topic has its own forum,... I think!

I am having the staples taken out this morning which are loose now so best out.

It is so nice having support and comparing experiences with someone not too far in front of me. I have lost around 14lbs since the surgery a week ago so not doing so bad.

Gotta go get these staples taken out, then the dentist! Bye for now.

Hello there Hope,

thanks for that, it is really helpful reading all your messages. Banding in the UK is not as common as it appears in the US although I believe is now increasing rapidly. I will have to use a bit of willpower I think to get through the coming weeks. Back on the Soup, yoghurts etc now but hungry as we speak! Thanks all!

Hi hope, you have done marvellously, well done! It seems everyone on the site is from the US except me here in the UK. All this is very supportive and helpful and it is making me realise that I should not have any regrets at this stage and to use a bit of willpower. Thanks all! Penny

Hi I am now on the 7th day and have been hungry for 2 days. I have eaten Pasta (with no problem and quite a bit) and now have had my knuckles rapped by my surgeon! Soup doesn't fill me for long or at all. Been told to go back onto liquids. My first fill is not till September so this is not going to be easy. I am a bit disappointed about this truthfully.
