Banded 9/12/13 & starving

I was banded 2 days ago and granted I'm supposed to be on clear liquids only with the surgery and small pouch and all but I feel like I'm still hungry. Maybe its all mental but what have any of you had to eat/drink that you have found filling in the 1st few weeks post surgery?

    I did the Protein drinks to get at least 60 gms per day and I never got hungry. Bored but not hungry. I had my surgery on Friday and went back to work on Monday. I'm home health nurse and that meant alot of bending and getting in and out of my car. I wouldn't do it again. I think if I had taken Monday and Tuesday off I would have been better off. I felt like myself by Wednesday.

    Thanks makes sense...I think I am going to stay off until Tuesday, see how I feel that day. I think I will be fine.
