Hi everyone I was banded on Monday and have only had clear liquids. I'm at a point where I'm sorta hungry. This afternoon I had about 2/3 or sf ff jello. But all I want right now is something of substance! I know I need to just keep strong and the will power is why I got this surgery because I have it, but does or did anyone else feel this way?

Only all of us! Try chicken broth with unflavored protein powder.

We have all been/are hungry. Your body can not survive without hunger. Even at restriction you are still going to get hungry.

Don't know if your Dr. ever showed you this, but the "Green Zone" is where you will want to be, eventually.....

You just had surgery...there is not much you can do but count your calories, diet, etc....

It took me 4-5 months and a few band adjustments to get to where my hunger was brought under control....
