I was banded last Monday and on Friday started the full liquid diet. Today I feel like I am starving I am so hungry. I have had 60 grams of Protein in 3 shakes today, some Soup and 3 tbsps of sorbet. Am I doing something wrong? I only started feeling hungry this evening, during the day I never had a hunger pain.

Could my band have slipped? How would you know this has happened?:thumbup:

I'm sure your band is just fine...but the post op swelling is going away so you are starting to feel hungry again that is normal. Your band could just be tighter during the day and gets more relaxed by the end of the day is all I'm sure your not doing anything wrong just keep eating your liquids, when I was on liquids I didnt measure I ate till I was satisfied and that was advised by my doctor. Good Luck!

Thanks for the reply zeniada, I so want this to work and I'm just worried that somehow I will do something wrong and I won't lose any weight.

What you said about the swelling makes sense, I think I will go to bed and start fresh again in the morning.

Yeah I am 3.5 weeks post op and all my swelling is gone. I can eat just about anything but do get full fast. Cant wait for my fill in October. I too feel like I wont lose any weight the scale is against me right now, now that I am eating regular food and it's gonna be my TOM I actually gained 2lbs. :thumbup: but I'm sure it's just Water weight and should go away soon...:thumbup:

The post op liquid hunger has hit!!! I was starving during that time... and during mushies. Much better now I'm on "real" food. It's all part of the process... you can make it- just be careful once you start eating again- don't eat too fast because it's really just half a bite between full and hurting and it takes a little time after you swallow to know the difference...

they call it bandster hell.. welcome to it !

I was banded on the same day by Dr. Hamn too!! I am wondering how in the world I am going to stay on liquids for this long!
