I was banded 10.28.09.. It was great in the beginning I could barely eat a half can of soup. (you know the REAL serving size) of course as I healed my appetite grew. I am scheduled for my first fill 11/30/09. (the Dr wanted to wait until after Thanksgiving) I am almost 4 weeks post op, still only eating soft foods, mashed potatoes, sugar free pudding, eggs, skim milk, ground turkey. This weekend I am always starving and I hate it! I also have to urinate way more than usual. I am not drinking anymore than usual. WTH? I hope my band is ok,,,,anyone ever have this problem? :thumbup:

I felt the exact same way! My surgery was 10.28.09. 10 days later, I can tell you that I don't long for food like I used too. I am still on soft foods, but it is more than enough. I myself can't believe I get full on 5-6oz of soup. Even those annoying food commercials aren't affecting me. When they took me for xrays post-op, they wheeled me right past Subway,(yes Subway is in the hospital lol) they were baking the bread. FOr the first time, I could care less. Didn't phase me at all.
