Im new to this site and I just got my band May14 I was wondering if anyone was as hungry as I am? This liquid thing is not filling!!!

Well I had my surgery May 11th. I was to start mushie tomorrow but decided to try it tonight. I did an egg and OMG it is delish!!! I haven't been hungry since my surgery but this tastes so good.

Isnt it funny Tammy how one little egg can taste so good! I really don't like eggs but the egg drop soup saved me last week! Hope your doing well!

I was banded 5/2 and im on solid foods and havent had a fill. Im never full after i eat and hungry within 30 mins

I'm new here and was banded yesterday.... Just sipping on water ... Afraid to try anything ! Help

Don't be too afraid to drink the liquids... some of us were the same... I was. the first 48 water, water, water....so you don't dehydrate.. Then if you can get a protein shake in that's awesome... welcome to the other side. I am a week out and feel really good already! Best of luck on this new journey you will do great!

I was banded 5/17 and started mushies yesterday. I had some mashed potatoes and then broke down and made some homemade tomato soup with a dash of greek yogurt. It was so good. I haven't been getting that hungry with the small portions I have been eating.

I had my surgery 5/23 and I am not thirsty/hungry just blah! I am to stay on liquids until day 7 then to soft mushy proteins ie: fish, chicken, eggs...

I had scrambled eggs for Breakfast and I couldn't believe how good they tasted!!! I guess lack of food will do that to you! Lol... Gonna try haddock tonight for Supper

I was banded on 5/22/12. I did Clear Liquids for 3 days & now I am on day 4. So I can move on to Full Liquids. I lived off of Liquid Isopure Blue Rasberry. Now I am enjoying Trader Joe's Butter Nut Squash, Vita Coco, & my Isopure powder - Double Dutch chocolate & low fat milk.

I am not hungry, but feel a bit light headed. Going to the RR regularly so I know I am staying hydrated. And finally had a BM this morning. (Sorry for the TMI).

How is everyone else doing?

Can you exercise now? My Doctor said walking is okay but no exercise yet! I am doing beans for dinner tomorrow.

To my knowledge I can only walk at this time and I've failed at that as far as exercise. I go to the doc on the 31st so I'm excited!! I'm not sure what will happen at that appt but will see. I have no complaints so far so smiles. I'm down 10lbs from surgery (May 11th) and 20 since starting my pre opt diet and very pleased.

Now since I've started eating mush I'm not sure on when to stop. So last night when I was eating refried bean, 2% cheese and low fat sour cream (which was delish) I ate about 1/4 cup and when I took a deep breath It felt like something was under my ribs so I stopped. This sure is a learning thing glad I'm a "good" listener....lol

Azhoselady let me know how your doing.
