Ok so I was banded on 1/13. I wasn't hungry at all until about 2 days ago when my apetite came back!!! This really sucks. Since surgery I had lost 23lbs but I weighed this morning and gained 2lbs. I really think I was totally dehydrated and I am hoping that my body is just holding on to everything I put in at right now. Does anyone have any suggestions on helping to curb this hunger. I really don't want to gain any of this weight back and I am not scheduled for a fill until 2/25. Right now I am still on mushies and everything that they have on my list is pretty much carbs, except eggs and cheese. The other stuff is mashed potatoes, cream Soup, noodles etc... Those are the foods that got me into this problem in the first place. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Signed,

It is real important to follow your doc's directions during this healing time. Now is when it is mostly up to you & not your band to curve your eating, get in your protein, and drink your water. Walking is good too. Don't be so hung up on weighing right now. The weight will start to come off if you're doing what you are suppose to do. Good luck.

I added tofu ( mashed up) into my mashed potatoes and cream soups. It takes on the flavor of whatver you cook it with. Add it to potaotes, yams and you can also try mashed avocado; all are good sources of protein and may help with the hunger.
