Hi guys I'm new I was banded one week ago today and I've lost 12 lbs (at my one week check up) but I'm starting to get hungry..is this normal? Help! Lol

it was normal for me and then i switched to puree'd foods and i an not hungry after

It's very common until you get your fills and they eventually hit your "sweet spot".

But it's only been a week...I start mushy food tomorrow...I hope it helps

I was also banded on the 30th. I was allowed mushy foods on Friday. If I keep my protein shakes around me, even at work, I am okay. I have also been eating soap...I am shocked though, the shakes do better for me. Today is my first post op appointment, hopefully will be released to more food now, though.

I found the same to be true with my shakes and soups and after an hour in the soup aisle looking at lables.. they have very little protein in them. i was shocked.
