I have been banded now for 8 days and im still having a tough time..I cant get motivated to do anything..I have no strenght at all...I cant find a protein that I like so Im all out of sorts...I have lost to date 31 lbs since aug 9th..And had lost 27 during 13 day pre-op...and now have lost 4 in the last week..Food seems to be going down ok but I chew things up very well...Chewable vitamins is a no-no for me too..Makes me sick..I hope this gets better...Im so frustrated right now....This is a tough journey:sad: -
I was also banded on aug31st...I havent felt well to date yet..On the 3rd day could eat blenderized food...It tastes terrible to me...Cant find a protein shake I can keep down...Can anyone sugest a protein fruit smoothie maybe?...I guess im so depressed over the loss of food..I dont know exactly how I feel yet..Im trying..I truely am..but im weak from lack of food or protein I think....Please help!!!
