I was banded on 6/10. The horrible gas pain has finally gone away. I wasn't hungry at all until today. Now, I feel hungry all day. Not like I used to, but my stomach has a sort of empty feeling and it makes me nauseous. If I eat a couple of spoonfuls of soup, pudding, applesauce I feel better for about 45 min. and then the feeling returns. Is this actually hunger or something else? I feel like I need to eat something every hour or two.

I would say this is "normal" . Your probably not on much "food' so its not going to get much better.

To be honest. but hang in there. Once you get your first fill it will be better.

My suggestion follow your doctors orders , eat as often as you can or are allowed to and stay hydrated !
