I'm just curious I got my band yesterday no nausea or anything just gas lol and I just eat cuz I need to get something down but not at all hungry wondering how long that will last :cursing:

Started on day 3 for me.... weird how we are all different.

Banded today and hungry today!!! Not starving but I really want a piece of toast or a cracker to crumble in my broth! I can't start protein for a week which sucks beause it seems to be helping others.

Alycopp, a little suggestion the nurse at the Dr. office gave me. I too am so sick of the broth, but also the sweet tasting drinks (SF popsicles, Crystal Light, G2). She said to get a cracker, I used a rosemary triskit, she used Cheez-Its, and break it into a small square (broke my triskit into 4 pieces). Then put it in your mouth and suck on it. Get all the salty taste out of it and then spit it out. She also said you can take a very small bit of peanut butter and swirl it around until it is VERY liquid and then swallow. This kinda helps with the cravings of something different.

3 days for me then I was like what happend the magic stopped. I am 10 days now and a little better since I am eating more soft foods but I hope after first fill I won't be hungry like this

I was hungry pretty quickly- I'd say about 4 or 5 days after surgery.

I had surgery 8/19 dr Ray did the surgery only 4 days but I have not been hungry yet but going to get tired of liquids

I had lap band surgery 8/19 I have not been hungry I forget to eat but I need to I dont seem to be drinking enough Water either.

left shoulder has been hurting really bad

Oh I feel for all of u hungry people! I am 5 mo out so I can tell u it dies get better . I was starving on day 5 post op. Like gonna loose my mind & be committed starving! I cheated & ate runny mashed potatoes for 2 days until I.saw my doc & he said I could officially advance to mushies. I would say by about day 18 or so I was pretty much back on a reg diet & I had to wait a month for.my first fill. Looking back it doesn't seem so bad.... However @ the time it was truely hell!

I cleared out my fridge & cupboads before surgery so I wouldn't have ne temptation... My poor hubby had a rough couple of wks too! Lol
