I'm starving!

I got banded on the 26th--- so 4 days ago-- and I'm sick of broth. How much can you drink, really? It fills me up for a whole 20 minutes and then I'm hungry.
how do you do this for a whole week?

I don't feel any restriction to be honest-- and I feel quite a bit of chest pain. it's almost as if something is lodged in my throat.

any advice would be great

I had the gastric sleeve on the 24th.  Just wanted to say that I understand the "sick of broth" feelings!!!  I'm supposed to stay on clear liquids for 2 weeks.  This is going to be a real struggle.  Can't say that I am truly hungry - just feels so strange to only be drinking.

Good luck to us both!

I understand.  I had a VSG Nov 11th and about a week in I had one day where I was feeling hungry and wanted real food badly.  I had a creamy soup and some SF jello and that helped.  Will they allow those?   I haven't had a day like that since but I am now on soft foods.  I still only eat solid food about once a day and drink protein drinks the rest of the time.

From what I've heard it can take a while with the band to get the fill right
