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!

      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.
