I am 6 days postop and feel pretty good but I get soooooo......hungry about 1 hour after eating something. I feel like I am starving. I think 6 weeks of this will drive me crazy. Does it get better with time? It makes me feel pain to nausea. Does anyone else feel this way? mama59:thumbs_down:

I'm 3 days post-op and just started starving today. I'd kill for a ritz cracker. Isn't that a weird thing to crave??

I craved guacamole and I dont even like it, but I went and bought some and enjoyed everybite:drool:

When were you banded? Weird the things we crave, eh?

Well, I gave in and had some butternut squash soup. It was delicious. I'm not sure what I'm feeling in my stomach now, but at least it's not hunger! I'm not sure how long I can do this. This is much worse than the three weeks of optifast. At least the hunger went away then. It doesn't seem to be doing that now.:biggrin:

Let us know how it sits!

I was banded on April 24th. The soup sat a little heavy on my stomach, but at least I'm not hungry. Perhaps I ate a little too much, but at the time, there was no stopping. I was starving. But, I don't see how it can be much different than the optifast shake. It's about the same consistency, but a little more filling. And about the same calories.

wow.....I never thought so many would be feeling the same as me. Thanks to all that have replied. Today I have a HA and a very sore throat and a cough. I haven't even been anywhere to catch anything. GREAT just what I need.......mama59

Yup, Bandster hell! Stay with the program and solids will follow! SS
