Jack, thanks for your wisdom and insight. I am starting to recognize the difference in actual hunger and my brain telling me that I am hungry.

Hang in there. I am also having a problem with my hunger. I went a little overboard yesterday and have felt horrible about it. But the point is, I wouldn't have felt bad in the past if I did this while on a diet. It would have made me get off the diet and stop caring. I don't get my first fill until the end of the month. I am ready to get it so that I don't have to use my willpower, which is very good, until then.

I was also banded on 4-17. Besides the pain around the port and a little gas under my ribs, I am doing good. I have been walking as much as I can and think that is helping. Fortunately, I haven't thrown up. I feel for those that have. I am having to make myself drink because I am not hungry at all. My mind, however, is thinking about all the stuff that I can't have. Anyone else having trouble turning their hungry brain off?

Thanks for the encouragment.

I was banded yesterday as well. I had to stay overnight because I have sleep apnea. The more I get up and move around the better. Still sore but doing well.

Hey everyone, I was just banded yesterday. I had to stay in the hospital overnight because of my sleep apnea. Everything went well and I am at home now. I have a long journey but am excited about getting to my goal. My first goal is to get through the first two weeks of liquids. Anything to watch out for or anything that worked for you?
