Lap Band Eating Habits

Hello all........ I am 11 days post op and probably doing well. I had a lap band procedure done, and the main problem is I seem to be so hungry all the time. I am working on supplementing between "eating" times with water. I am supposed to be on a liquid diet on for another 3 days. Have any of you started adding pureed foods yet? I seem to be learning that all surgerons do things different. I went to my doctor this week and he said that he doesn't do adjustments for 6 wks, but if my hunger pains kept up, call in sooner. Please let me hear from some of you. Thanks!!

My surgery is in 2 days and my Dr said I would be on liquids for 14 days also....I am on my 10 day pre surgery diet starting the liquid only phase today and it is verrrrry hard so I know how you feel. You will be hungry until you get that fill so hang in there. Good Luck! Kim

Hi, Karen: make sure you join the Lap band forum. They will help you a lot. I go in March 23 for the Lap Band. You will settled down in a week. YOu can't eat a lot cause your tummy is swolen. The hunger is mostly head hunger -you are use to eating a LOT!! Best wishes - - Barb
