Yes its normal and if your doctor said wait four weeks then wait. Your only hurting yourself.

Knowing that I could hurt my stomach by eating when I was not supposed too. The band needs time to settle. Not eating is for a reason. Its only temporary so try to hang in there.

Normal post surgery conditions that will go away in time. Drink lots of crystal lights, SF Jello, SF popsicles.

Sabz, I feel your pain. I am just in my second week and am on purees. And I keep thinking I want food -- crunchy, tasty, chewy, substantial - food. I have come to the conclusion that this want is in my HEAD though, as I have a quarter cup of Soup and I feel full for ages. But oh, how to get that out of the head.

I am probably not much help, since I am fighting the same demons :lol: But I promise if I have a breakthrough I will come back here and post.

It's very normal for you to get hungry. I was on solids by third week, as per my surgeons instructions, and I did not hurt myself. In saying this though you need to follow your own surgeons instructions and there are a gazillion different instructions.

The swelling is normal and will take a few more weeks to subside, you're still healing.

Best thing to always do is call your surgeon if your hunger is uncomfortable and he will give you the best advice.

Good luck on this new journey.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
