I everyone I was banded on the 12th of January. Everything is good good except for the fact that Im starving. I have eaten and been successful on the stage one diet no problems digesting food. I am not full at all and have one more week on the liquids. I have had headaches the past three days ate some lentil soup and I felt so much better. Is there any harm starting stage 2 early?? also why can't we have regular coffee what happens when you have caffeine?

I was on liquids for a week, then mushies for two weeks in which I have altered to one meal a day eating the meat proteins (mainly fish) from my next phase. I couldn't take the mushies anymore. Other than adding the fish I've been faithful. I will progress to the full next phase Monday when I'm supposed to.

My diet can include no more than 2c caffeine a day (of course no soda). I've had a cup of caffeine per week not per day. Sometimes you just have to have it.

Yes I'm starving I do 3 protien drinks a day and lots of water all day I finely had to add a cup of coffee because I havent had a BM since my surgary on Jan. 16th! all it did for me is give me releaf!! I'm sooooo hungry and very week I can't see how I've made it 3 weeks! ok I cheatted this weekend I had 100 cal tomato soup but I would have killed someone at super bowl if I didn't as I was smiling telling everyone "I'm fine, beleive it I'm full" ya right I wanted to eat sooo bad and not like over eat just a bite I would be fine if I could just have 1 wing! just one!

I'm so sorry I'm having a real hard time right now
