9 days post op....

and I am starving! Is this normal? I'm down 20 pounds and I have been following the full liquid diet as best I can, feel I feel like I need to put locks and chains on the fridge, and cabinets, and drawers, and anywhere else food exists. On top of that, I am getting the flu. Any suggestions? Will this pass a bit once I get to move on to mushies?

I did not have that problem but i had the bypass. i still have never been hungry and am 7 months out

Hi Kristen! I, too am an RNY so I don't know much about the lap band. Maybe you need to contact the office and tell them. You might need a tightening of your band. I was never starving in the beginning. I always felt full. Lucy

Hey Kristen - I don't know too much about lap band but I have heard that this is common until they start adjusting the band.  I would put a call into your surgeons office.  Hang in there, hopefully some of the lap band folks will chime in. Christina

Hey Kristen, if I were you I would contact you doctors office or send a pm to our lapbanders here....like Janet K.  Shelley,   Karen   Lisa    I'm sure everyone is different but it's nice to know what to expect. Pam

Thanks for the replies all your gorgeous RNY ladies. I did call the doctors office, the swelling is my stomach is just going down and until I get my first fill (after 4 weeks) I will have hunger issues, I just need to stick it out. GOTTA BE TOUGH!
