Mlivingston04 11 Posted June 9, 2012 I was banded on wed june 6 and I have been light headed and blurred vision for the past two days has anyone else felt this way? I have really been drinking a lot of fluids and I stopped my pain meds because I thought it was related to this. ChubbyGal-I was banded on the 4th and have been having some issues with light headedness and no energy. I am so over feeling this way. I have had no issues with the surgery at all but the lack of energy is killing me. I am getting in my Protein and almost all my Water. Last night I had arm and leg cramps so bad so I plan to drink like a fish today to see if that changes. I also am going to up my Iron to see if that helps. Hang in there thats all I am doing but know that you are not alone. Monica Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
misslock 10 Posted June 9, 2012 I was banded yesterday with Dr Elli. I got the stomach shot for the blood thinner and didn't even feel it. The iv went in easy, I had great nurses!!! I woke up felt sore and nauseous but they gave me medicine to fix both. I was up in a chair pretty fast and turn walking around. The ice packs really help my soreness!! So keep those around. I have 2 1/2 incisions. Last night when.I was home I had sips of Water and broth and a popsicle. Today I've had water and might try broth later, just not hungry. My families have been helping with my dogs. I have had no shoulder pain from the gas and walking around seems to keep any gas to a minimum. Also the alcohol prep pads are AMAZING for nausea. Over all it just feels like I did 1000 crunches lol good luck everyone!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sombra1718 55 Posted June 9, 2012 I was wondering if you all were told to keep drinking Protein Shakes right after surgery. That is something I don't remember being mentioned by my Dr.s. I'm only two days post op but I am not getting any Protein on the clear liquid diet.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouisianaLiLi 231 Posted June 9, 2012 I was wondering if you all were told to keep drinking Protein Shakes right after surgery. That is something I don't remember being mentioned by my Dr.s. I'm only two days post op but I am not getting any Protein on the clear liquid diet.< /div> I was told I would be on Clear Liquids nor the first three days post op then on full liquids. The PA did say it would be hard to get Proteins with that, but to begin with protein shakes when I begin full liquids.

I have no energy I have been getting in my Protein maybe not all but definitely more than half. My fluids are definitely being drank. Idk I had Lapland w plication and hiatal hernia repair. Could this be why? Just more surgery? Some of you seem to be back up to par already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lpeyton21 5 Posted June 9, 2012 almost a week into my pre op diet...not as bad as i thought but still ..the weekend is tough..everyone is going out and wants me to come and I am willing to try (with my Protein Shakes in hand) but the temptations are everywhere! June 18th is my surgery date...cannot wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sbrown3121 0 Posted June 10, 2012 Hello all, I was banded June 6. Im having trouble getting my Protein Shakes in. Any suggestions??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites honk 780 Posted June 10, 2012 I was allowed Protein Shakes during the clear phase even though they weren't clear. They were just powder and milk though no fruit etc. If you are having trouble with the shakes post op perhaps Water them down so they are even thinner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mcuevas 25 Posted June 10, 2012 I think today is the first day I actually feel good. not much pain and the gas is finally gone: ) yay!!!! Down 13 lbs since I started pre post last Sunday: ) I've realized why drinking slowly and taking small sips is so important..... It's really weird to not beable to gulp down Water anymore. so happy to be on the other side of this.
