Banded Saturday. Should I be feeling this bad?



Recommended Posts

Banded Saturday by Dr Super at Dolan Park. Great experience. Home now and cant believe how bad I am feeling. Not sure if something is wrong? nauseous but have not been sick. Everything hurts. Not hungry at all. Is this normal?

Hi, I was banded Wed and felt aweful for 2 days, I took my pain meds and slept a lot! Keep drinking (sip sip sip) your Water, and walk around to get rid of the gas. The gas can almost make you feel like you have the flu.

Good luck! :) and Congrats!

I felt pretty bad for the first four days. I could get up and around okay but felt like I'd been hit by a truck. Take the pain meds and anti-nausea meds if you have them. If you have any concerns feel free to call your doc's office. That's why they're there!

You just described my banding experience. I am 5 days post op and am finally starting to feel like a normal person again. Just take it easy on yourself, drink lots of Water and catch up on some movies. If you have some nausea medicine, take it. Time is the only thing that will make you 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.
