How Long After Being Banded Did It Take For You To Feel Good Again?



Recommended Posts

I'm i the pre-surgery diet phase and right now I feel so run down and hungry. Then I know liquids and softs are to follow. Just wondering how long it took before you felt good/full again. I honestly do not have the energy to workout at this point.

It was about a month for me. My surgeon had told me to wait about a month before I started working out. I figured out why!

I am about 3 months post-surgery and it took about 1 month for me to feel normal again. I still haven't started working out, other than walking. I may take up swimming/weights again in a couple of months.

I had my surgery 8 days ago and am feeling pretty good. I had alot of tightness in my abdomen i think from them being in there prodding and poking around. But nothing was unbearable, I just wasnt sure what to expect either. I have been walking about 3/4 mile a day and sleeping good though. I was out at the mall yesterday and could have went earlier, just didnt have a reason too.

I also had surgery 8 days ago and feel really good. I know what you mean about feeling tired during the pre-op diet, I was really tired and didn't have alot of energy but I feel really good now. Hang in there it will get better!

      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.
