I was banded 11 days ago & had a hiatal hernia repaired at the same time so I am still suppose to be eating things that pour off a spoon... And its driving me crazy!! I am so ready to be eating normal food and I feel hungry alot more than I thought I would. I was hoping to wake up from surgery and not be hungry, but instead I woke up & the first thing I said was "dang I'm hungry!". I'm a stay home mom so I'm used to munching throughout the day. I hope things change once I start eating solid food, but I'm worried I will feel this way until I reach my "green zone". I know I am suppose to take it easy and focus on healing, but its hard not to concentrate on the wieght loss too... Since that is why I did this in the first place!

Have you started your protein shakes? This should help.

Protein shakes will definitely help you.

My doctor said not to drink protein shakes or anything like that because they're just extra calories. But I have seen a lot of other people taking about shakes so some docs must say differently.
