This is exactly what they say, and I found towards the end of the 2 weeks on this softer foods that it was harder (although at this time my own provider suggests moving onto less sloppy/mushy foods as the time passes) I did find that the hunger kicked in and it can be quite difficult.

The hardest time I found however was after my first fill at 5 weeks post op, it stimulated the stomach into feeling hungry and I had no restriction from my band so could eat what I wanted if I had wanted.

Hang in there ~ its a tough time while things are settling down, but they do say that weight loss during this time can be minimal until you get through this stage.

You will notice a difference when you get on to normal foods too, especially if you can concentrate on the drier and crunchier foods, they leave you feeling fuller for longer

I did find the liquid and mash hard again tho after that first fill . . .my levels of hunger went through the roof . . .
