Clueless??

Ok so I was banded yesterday morning. I have been able to sip Water and keep it down but the thought of food makes me want to throw up. I'm on full liquids btw. I can't tell if I'm full or just not hungry. Any suggestions? I feel terrible and have done nothing but sleep all day.

I was sore and tired for about 3 days after surgery. I was pretty much exactly the same way you described. I didn't feel like drinking or doing much of anything. It is important to hydrate yourself though!! When I got on full liquids I tried sipping some broth and hot tea. Those both were helpful for me. I know it's difficult but it will make you feel better once you have something in your stomach. I hope you get to feeling better soon!! I used the prescription pain medicine for about 4 days which helped but that also can sometimes make your stomach upset.

I'm 2 1/2 weeks out from my band. The first few days I took food very slow. I had yogart (plain vanilla), cream of chicken Soup, and sipped on fluids all day. When my stomach was empty it gives me a indigestion kind of a feeling, like a half upset stomach. But once I eat that feeling goes away. I'm sticking with 2 oz meals. Are you taking prolosec or any thing to reduce stomach acid production? It will get better after a few days.

Amber I was the same day, my worst day was day 2 post op, I was just miserable. I slept for about 4 days straight and couldn't barely stomach Water for about 2 full days. Day 3 was much better by day 5 and was starting to feel hungry. Give it a few more days, you should feel much better if you don't, call your dr.

Amber,

Give it time. Just sip sip sip all day. Move around as much as you can and take it easy.

It gets better every day.
