    True Results Houston!

    MJ1996 replied to vmarlau's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Don't get discouraged. Your metabolism is slowed because you are not eating much. I lost 10lbs, but it has come to a halt. I was banded on Sept. 24. I will get the first fill on OCT. 29. I hope I will start losing again once I start a workout plan and the first fill gives me some restriction. Stay encouraged!

    What Have I Done?

    MJ1996 replied to Emily3113's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It sure does get better. I had surgery on the 24th and was sick and felt tired. I started to feel better on day 4. Hang in there.

    Weakness

    MJ1996 replied to kdkdsa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I had surgery on sept. 24. I thought u would be up in 3 days. I was tired and weak. All I wanted to do was sleep. I was not taking pain meds. I finally felt better yesterday. The anesthesia effects every differently. I forgot this is surgery and you need time to heal. I did try to walk a little around the house, but could not do much. If you feel tired and weak, rest, then try and walk when you can. It does get better.

    Thanks for these replys. I just 4 days post-op, but starting to feel if I did the right thing. I am still feeling very tired. I try to walk around the house, but I feel tired. I could sleep most of the day. Reading these post give me some inspiration.

    Banded 9/24/12

    MJ1996 replied to CarrieBrownsville's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am on liquids only for 4 days. I feel so weak. I'm not in pain, but have no energy or appetite. I take a few sips of Protein mixed in Water, broth , Gatorade, juice. I have to do this until Saturday. I thought I would be up and on the go in 3 days, but I guess everyone heals differently. Not taking pain meds either. I just want my energy back.
