Hi Everyone, my name is Linda and I just had my surgery less than a week ago. And I am doing great but still hungry!

Congrats on surgery. You're definetly going to be hungry when on liquids. I hope things go well throughout healing. Try drinking more.

Hi Linda...I got my band on the 15th....I have been thinking alot about fresh green food ....how is your recovery going? I had a hiatal hernia repaired while being band and feel very gassy when I drink?

I was also banded on the 14th. Thankfully a lot of the gas is starting to leave but now the gas is being replaced by feelings of hunger. Thankfully, I'm able to start soups pretty soon and I can't wait. I wish us all well.

I was banded 05/14 and had the hernia repair at the same time as well. I am starting to feel more like myself. I still have a bit of pain in one shoulder (is this gas pain still??) and once in awhile I get a painful spasm in my diaphragm area (sort of feels like a very painful hiccup) and I *think* it's from the hernia repair. But I am definitely starting to feel hungry now. The liquids aren't cutting it anymore. It's going to be hard to do another week of liquids. Ugh.

I still get sharp pains in my left shoulder that I assume is from the gas. I get burpy feelings alot but am not uncomfortable. I had fat free cream of chicken soup tonight...it was at least a small change.

I was also banded on the 14th. Still have shoulder pain from gas and the hiccup thing but I am sooooo NOT hungry. I am having to force myself to get some calories and protein in. I'm lucky to get 400 calories a day. All I want is water. Maybe I should be thankful that I'm not hungry.

Hi Linda! I was banded Friday May 16.
