I was banded on 6/19/12 and am on full liquids for 2 more weeks, however I'm so hungry all the time! I feel like I'm always eating but still always hungry! I also cheated n had 2 bites of my daughters turkey sandwich today!! Is something wrong with me?! I also have gained weight since my surgery date I was 259 surgery morning now I'm 265....

I was also banded on the 19th, I am permitted to be on mushies now though. I know all doc's are different. I was starving myself from the second day after surgery! Doc said my body would tell me when I was ready to move up to the next stage. I do not think its strange, hope you feel better soon!

I am 2 weeks out and my Dr said there is no magical day and if I tolerate it its okay to ease into more solids. I've had small portions of chicken, jerky and some nuts and had no issues. Sticking mostly to shakes and cottage cheese consistency tho.

I was banded 6/18/12 and just went back to work today, but after work when I got home I got really hungry even after having some soup with mushie veggies. I see my Dr tomorrow we'll see he says.

It gets better! If your doctor allows you to have cottage cheese and greek yogurt as part of your full liquids they will help. Don't worry about gaining weight right now. Your body is healing and it is normal for many people to gain weight during this time.

I was banded 6/18/12 and am also all of a sudden so hungry it hurts lol. I did full liquids three weeks before and now two weeks after, and I've handled it fine really until today. My stomach was growling so hard all day that it hurt (also my first day back to work). Usually one drink before work and two at work could hold me over real well before I got home! I dont know what it was about today, I had to run down to the corner store and buy a bunch of soup so I could drink the broth lol. I'll be more prepared tomorrow that's for sure!

I'm glad that others are experiencing this too... I'm going to call my dr and see abt maybe progressing to mushy foods. I did have some very runny mash potatoes for dinner n now i am not feeling hungry like i was... But I think I'll try the Greek yogurt bc I'm needing more protein.

I was sucking on cheese a few days after surgery! I needed something more! I agree, your body will tell you when you need to add more.

On a different note, can someone tell me how to add the

LapBandTalk.com Body Weight Ticker? I can't see to figure it out! Thanks!

Me too banded 6/18/12 started getting sooo hungry today after work. Have a post op appt tomorrow desk what happens

Please follow your doctors orders! You can do damage eating solids to soon. Eat more of your allowed foods instead of solids. I asked if I could move to mushies 3 days earlier. Their answer? "Absolutely NOT!"

Remember people who tell you "My doctor let me have mushies day 3." Won't be there in the doctor's office with you if your band slips and the doctor says "Why on earth did you eat solids when I told you not to?"

Yes post op diet sucks! But it will pass.

was banded on june 6.......had 2 weeks of clear/full liquids and just last week moved to mushy/very soft and will be that way for another week.......then i am able to move to soft foods but dr def warned me about (eating) and the damage it could do if i rushed it. just be careful and follow dr orders.......that is what i am doing......

sf popsicles and Protein shakes and lot of water/crystal light peach tea help get me by the (hungry times)...
