Still kind of sore but OMG I feel sooooo much better. I'm able to kick the pain meds and use liquid Tylenol. I'm not gonna lie I'm ready for Mushies cuz I am starving!!!! I'm not cheating though.

That gives me hope, I'm just fresh off the slice & dice table today .... Hoping this gets easier (I know it will). Cheers to us & our fresh bands!!!

My surgery was 2 days ago and I woke up feeling a lot better. Hoping my hunger doesn't come back too soon. I am on clear liquids till Thursday.

good job Lauren...and like you said..absolutely no cheating. you know how important is it to follow the rules especially right after surgery. welcome to the other side!

I'm 7 days post op and i'm uncomparably better than i was 1 day post op. Stopped taking pain meds 2nd day post op, and atm i can even sleep on my port side! It gets better quickly

Me too. Feeling a lot better. Cant wait to sleep on my belly :-)

I was banded 3 days ago and I am starving today. The liquids are not satisfying me. I want some taco salad or mashed potatoes or something. This is a battle today.

I've been hungry the entire time! Only time I'm ok is if I drink some Isopure, but it comes back shortly after.

don't lose this battle. you are three days out and it would not be good for you to each food unless your doctor allows it. hang in there...go out, do something to get your mind off food. this is no not the time to make a bad decision. good luck and stay strong!

Sorry you're having a hard day. Vegetable broth helps keep me satisfied, but I know everyone's different. Hang in there! You can do this!!!

Thank you all. I was having a moment. I am taking it one day at a time. I took a few sips of water and my friend is coming over so we can go for a walk.

I'm having the same problems. I'm ready for something that is actual food.

I'm having a hard time wanting to eat at home also. Cant wait to go to work on Tuesday so I can keep my mind busy.

I was discharged Wednesday from the hospital on a stage 3 diet. Yesterday I tried some LF creamy tomato soup and omg, it was like thanksgiving!! This morning was very smooth yogurt. Is stage 3 diet different for each doctor or do most banders get discharged on a stage 2 diet (which was for me protein drinks and water)?
