I was banded 10/23/08 -- after about the first week, I started feeling hungry -- and by the time I was on mushies & real food, I could eat pretty much just as I could before the surgery. It's important to remember that your band isn't really "working" for you until after you get a good fill.
For now, just focus on healing -- and following your dr's orders perfectly! You'll be in "Bandster Hell" soon enough (period before restriction), so you may as well enjoy losing on the post-op diet now! :)
Congratulations on your surgery!
