You are lucky, I was on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks, milky liquids for 2 weeks, pureed for 2 weeks, then soft for 2 weeks. YUCK! If I never see broth again it will be too soon! Don't worry about the hunger, after a couple of "fills" you won't have that issue. You are going to be healthier than ever and that is an awesome thing!! I had my surgery Feb 18, 2008 (this year) and to date I have lost 105 pounds. I tried to replace my food compulsion with exercise compulsion. Seems to be working, going to do my first 10K run next month and then a half-marathon! Never felt better in my life! Good luck to you, you made absolutely the right choice!!! D.

Hello! I know what you mean. I was banded on Aug. 22 and I was so hungry too. I know we are not suppose to but I started eating mashed potatoes and grits because I could not take it anymore. I dont eat much and I dont have any pain or any problems at all. Also I am still losing weight! I am not telling you to do it, I was just sharing what I am eating with you! Good luck!

Hi KyBand! I had my surgery with Dr. Gellar at Norton Suburban Hospital. I had an excellent overnight admission. Keep positive and good luck!

Thanks for the support! I can't wait to eat scrambled eggs, grits, cream of wheat..... Between the Protein Drinks and the blended Soups, that is really the only complaint I have. Small price to pay for such a big pay off. I'm knitting like crazy now to keep my mind of food. And I can only make washcloths and scarfs.....

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
