I got banded on Aug. 18... also they fixed a hernia that they found. I am in some pain.. no vomiting at all yet. I barely eat anything... only a few spoonfuls of broth here and there and some sugar free popsicles. I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday where I have loads of questions for my doctor.. but I was just wondering.. how long did it take most of you to start eating normal things... feel normal.. sleep normal? It's only been 4 days and I can't imagine feeling like this for much longer I don't think I was completely ready for all of this pain and discomfort.
