Ok so I am now 6 days post op and first day back at work. I had really hoped I would feel better than I do right now. I feel over all Lethargic and sore. I have a tinge of nausea constantly. I have no real appetite and have to force myself to drink the Protein Shakes. I am supposed to start incorperating mushies into my diet tonight or tomorrow. On a bright side I am down 26 lbs since I started my pre surgery diet. Another issue I do have is Diahrreah! I guess it is liquid in liquid out but it is getting old! Are the feelings I am having normal?

Normal! After about a week I was feeling "okay" I'd say after a week and a half I was back to normal. Just rest as much as you can and focus on healing. Though Lapband is branded as being the "least invasive" WLS, any surgery is invasive and time makes all the difference.

I'm on day 5 myself, and "d" has been the way of life for me since I started pre-diet. I can't wait until I can have a semi-regular meal of grits or oatmeal. I'm still sore and taking painkillers, but it seems better each day. I haven't lost the weight you have, congrats on that :)

If u r lethargic u really should contact ur Dr's office, thats not a good sign. Diarrhea will dehydrate you especially if you r not getting in enuff liquids.< /p>

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
