Anyone had the band with plication? I did on 3/20/2012 and am doing well! Having some belly growling--it's like my stomach is telling me I am hungry but my brain doesn't think I am all that hungry (although I do feel I could eat). I am on clears-- one ounce every 30 minutes while awake. I feel like I can drink more than that, and have at times. My dietician said I could stretch the pouch. Anyone dealing with this?

Hello,

I had the plication with the band on 3-13-2012. I have a lot of stomach growling as well but I stay hungry. I am not sure if its mental or if I'm really hungry. I have lost 12lbs so far and started walking more. I am still doing my protein drinks and drinking lots and lots of water

What was your diet for the first week or two? How long did you stay on clears? Good luck to you, and great job on the 12 lbs!

I did clears for one week then I called my nurse an told her how hungry I was. Since I was 7 days in she allowed me to start some soft foods like low fat yogurts, low fat pudding, low fat jello, and low fat apple sauce..cottage cheese etc..but I still do the protein drinks and lots of water. I am still eating like this for another 2.5 weeks. Honestly, I am still hungry but I have to train my brain and remember to eat every 2hrs. This way I will not allow myself to get as hungry as I've been. Good luck to you as well and lets keep in touch. I can use the motivation from everyone on here
