I am 11 days post op and I am very happy with my decision to be banded. I have been fatigued and cold, but other than that great. My issue is that I keep getting choked up almost to the point of an all out cry! WTH is goin on with that? I am not assamed to cry for good reason but this has happened 5-6 times since surgery over stupid stuff!

I'm the same way, all it takes is something even slightly sad and I'm crying. You should have seen me last week at the end of the 24 finale, balling like a baby! I'm sure normally my eyes would have started watering alittle because I love that show but this was just crazy. :thumbup:

I wonder how long this cold, sleepy, emotional stage lasts...?

it took me about a month to stop feeling sad and strange. i started taking long walks during the morning and that really helped me, and if i wanted to cry, i'd cry until i felt better.

This can be a side effect of the anesthesia. Not sure how long it can last, but I would definitely say that is the cause. Good Luck.

A good cry is good for you. I was mourning my diet coke in those early days. I am STILL mourning my diet coke 10 months later. You are going through a huge change in your life it is normal to be emotional!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
