I feel a little better but I feel like the clear liquids are not filling me up I don't feel full is this good or bad

I had to drink 2oz every hour to keep from starving the first week. Some people are hungry the day after surgery. Good Luck

I'm 7 days post-op and still on clear liquids. I've been hungry since 2 days after my surgery. Know you're not alone!

I feel your pain! I'm also a week out and cant wait to eat something that has a chance of sustaining me more than 40 min. My stomach gets in knots if I dont constantly put something in it. All I hear is constant gurgling followed by uncomfortable gas moving around.

I was banded 8/16 and I was hungry 2days after surgery today was my first day feeling the knots and hunger pains in my stomach. But I sip my 3oz of liquids every hour can't wait to add a little substance in one week

I must not have gotten the same memo you got about fluid consumption. I drink as much as I want all day long. I'll finished off a 20 oz protein&vitamin powder drink in 20 minutes. Everything goes right down the hatch and past the band. I can handle being hungry, but dehydration is a whole different animal. Its so interesting the lack of continuity between one doctor's methods for treatment to another. I still have pain everyday where the band is, but it's never been while or after I drank something. This is such a personal process and I'm grateful to read the stories from others and learn from them.
