Hi, I was banded on the 14th, still dealing with gas a little. I am now getting hungry, not like I can really eat anything other than full liquids without pain, but I desire to eat more. I just want some veggies, some collard greens, green beans, nothing big. I will be on mushy foods next week and then real foods after that. I am tired of soft cold stuff, I want some hot food. Waaah!

Egg drop soup really helped me.

Hang in there. You can do this. Good Luck!

Trell, i feel the very same! i was banded the same day and although i no longer have much pain, i am starving! I don't really think it's "head hunger" because all my stomach does is growl. I hope for the both of us it gets better soon, but its nice to know that we are not alone!

I was banded on the 17th and I am so nauseated by the smell of chicken soup or any type of cream soup. Just the thoughts of it makes me start to gag. I am so ready for something else. Does anybody have any suggestions >

for about the first week, i had the most overwhelming urge to eat a salad. go figure. still haven't had one yet.

I know what you mean about wanting something hot. I felt that way too, it was such a good feeling and did help my hunger when I had a cup of warm broth. I like the veggie flavor the best. I know it sounds silly but it worked for me!! Just that one cup was enough to help me move on to other things like stopping my skin from itching. *giggle* I hope you feel better soon. I have been banded on the 16th and have lost 9 pounds since then. I like that better than anything else!!

Take Care,

Nancy :rolleyes2:
