question about diet(4 days post op)
I am doing the liquid diet as I am supposed to, but I feel hungry every hour. Is this normal?? I am having chicken and beef broth, Popsicles, jello(sugar free) but I feel like I should not be this hungry.

Surgery done, back home!!
Everything went as planned. I actually feel really good. Better than I thought I would. Not a lot of pain really. I'm only sore where my port is(I got the lap band). I'm just taking things slow and trying to keep sipping so I won't get dehydrated. I'm so glad that part is behind me. Know the real work begins!!

Newbie in need of support
I joined MFP a while back but have decided I better use it in order to see any results. I was on weight watchers for about a year and lost about 15lbs on that, but got discouraged when I hit a plateau. WW is great but I would much rather use a program that does not push their products all the time. I'm sure there are other…
