Really hungry all of a sudden

[ValleyGirl]

Although I know Dr. Ortiz puts your band in empty, I was feeling quite restricted from day1-8 post-op, probably from swelling. By day 9 I had no feeling of restriction, but wasn't really hungry so I kept drinking my fluids just for nutrition sake but could have gone without. As of yesterday, day 12, and in to today- I am STARVING!!! I've been at work since 4am (it's 9:30 now) and I've already had a slim fast shake, two cups of coffee, a glass of water and a YOP drinkable yogurt and my stomach is actually grumbling. Crazy. I know we're not suppoedto count calories right now, and Dr. Miranda says liquids are unlimited, but do I crack in to my soup already? I will have eaten everything I usually eat in a day before 10am.

Sabrina,

I feel your pain! Yesterday... I was starving! Are you taking Metamucile capsules? Take one at 10 o'clock AM and one at 3 o'clock PM and it will help with the hunger pangs.
