Hi from NC. Just banded on May 14, 2010 and so far lost 27 lbs (includes pre-surgery weight loss).

I am a 52 year old female - starting weight 275.

No fill yet, and am wondering how all this will work. So far, I am doing OK, but am getting more hungry each day.

On mushy food now.

It's not at all unusual for you to start getting hungry right about now so don't worry. Make sure you are getting enough Protein and enough fluids in addition to your mushy meals and see if you can move up your doctor's appointment if you are still pretty hungry.
