I got my band on August 27th. I have been diong so good; never any hunger pains, until today. My God, I could chew my leg off if I could bend down to it. I have not cheated, not even one time. I have lost right at 23 pounds. I asked my dr. when I would need a fill. He said that when I get hungry!!!! WELL, I AM HUNGRY NOW.

I am still on liquids. I will go to mushies on Monday, the 17th. I will go on solids one week later. Should I just ride this out. Pray for hubbie. I feel a real bitch attack on the horizon.:hungry::hungry::help::faint:

I know it is awful.....but it gets so much better, honest! Make sure that you are getting enough Protein and that will help the hunger. What worked for me was Campells Soup (in the box) tomato and basil and I would add ricotta cheese, lots of protein and it tasted like lasagna if you closed your eyes!! Add an extra Protein shake if you can and I promise it will get better, those mushies will be like heaven!

Good luck!

Thanks so replying so quickly. I am eating some Campbell's soup now; pepper jack. Pretty good. I will hang in there until I go on mushies.

Oh and as far as hubby....just remind him that it will all be worth it....he will have his wonderful wife around much much longer!!! If that does not work, show him the thread of what improves after weight loss....I am sure that there is something in there that will interest him

Soup was the answer for me too. Just remember that this is a time for healing , not for losing. If you need to eat more often, do it. Eat whatever is allowed on your list. I really enjoyed egg flower soup. I had to spit out the peas, but for some reason, it felt more like dinner.

Strain some mushroom or some sort of cream soup. It does help a lot. Paul k
