Hi I was banded on October 4,2011 all was going great until my 5th day I was so hunger a better work is starving which I hated because the whole purpose I got the band was so that I won't feel hungry... I was getting depress and that is something I don't want to be so I decided to eat and I did, it made me feel so much better but at the same time I'm kind of disappointed I even for that moment regretted having the procedure done. Don't get me wrong I ate and continue to eat but I make good choices as far as what I eat is just that i'm suppose to be on liquids so 3 weeks and sorry to say I couldn't do it. I however have lost 13 pounds so far I am happy about it but at the same time I know I'm eating soft or solid foods when i'm suppose to be on liquids and that is dragging me down. I just wish I have a fill to I wont feel hungry! The truth is that when I felt so hungry I even broken down in tears because like i said I didn't think I was going to feel hungry. I just hope in the near future I will feel better about the choice I made!

My doc put me on puree or soft about 5 days post op, so I would call him/her because they might say its ok. As for motivation: you should check out the photo I just put in my gallery The beging is hard. I didn't feel "full" for a decent time untill i was at 5cc's. My last fill I think was at the end of june (7cc's) and I am still losing weight and only eating small amounts. Everyone is different, just hang in there, get to know how your band works with you and your body.

I also had a doctor that put me on puree right after surgery. I went the first 2 days on liquid then to puree on day 3, then by one week post op he put me on soft foods. I had surgery in march and am down 70 pounds. I hope that helps to motivate you as well. Feel free to add me if you like and I can help you when you need to talk or have questions too Good Luck with your journey!
