Just got banded on Wednesday 6/2 and have started to feel hungry. Should I? What kinds of things were you guys allowed to eat "right out the gate"? Any food ideas would help as the menu supplied was limited.:thumbup:

Thanks for the post. Yup, following the docs advice to a "T". Tried soups and protein shakes in small amounts (4-6oz.). Works for a little while...lots to drink too, but in small sips.

Just got banded yesterday and I'm still a bit sore. Dropped 19lbs. before the surgery and looking forward to more! Were you hungry right away or is it that I'm just missing eating?

Hello all, I have decided to get banded and am scheduled for June 2nd! I am excited to get started and have familiarized myself with the process but one thing in particular concerns me. I work in an industrial atmosphere and am wondering, first of all, where the "fill port" will be loacted (i.e. behind or in front of the abdominal wall, upper or lower abdomen, left or right side), and if it will get in the way of me performing my job which sometimes requires lifting heavy objects. Kudos to all of you have undergone the surgery. I will be there soon.
