I had my surgery on Friday so I am three days post op. My question is does anyone else feel hungry? I am drinking water, juice (one serving a day), low sugar gatorade, popicles, jello, and broth. I read in the lap band book that I was given that you're not suppose to feel hungry after surgery. What did other people experience after surgery?

Hi Karen...I am 12 days post op and even though it did take a few days I was definitely hungry after my surgery. Once the swelling goes down from surgery I was told to expect to be hungry. I didn't feel like I was starving but I could tell I would have a little rumble here and there. I just progressed to mushies today and it did help with the hunger. Good luck and Congrats on your surgery!

Day 5 for me and it is the first day i felt a little hungry, i have been on all liquids for 15 days now..so i guess im just used to the new way of eating..or lack there of..lol..but i did have 1/2 spoon of peanut butter today, ate very slow, and it helped with my hunger..not supposed to have anything, but i figure it would not hurt..
