2 weeks out.

ChloeHouston · July 18, 2013

Im around 2 weeks post op, and I am still tired and achey. Im stilllll contemplating whether or not getting a Lap Band was the right choice..? Im on liquids and I am so mentally and physically hungry. Im only 17 years old so this was a big step...

Thanks Xo Chloe

Totally normal my doctor said swelling is about two to three weeks with lots of gas

And Fluid build up. I also said I was very tired and he said about 30 percent of our energy is going to healing our bodies so it makes sense. Honestly the best thing I did was start to walk around my neighborhood to get gas moving and to stretch my back and legs. After one week my back hurts more than anything. I also started waking up with an alarm and Doing my normal routine because it made me feel good and feel accomplished. Hang in there you will do fantastic And think how great u will look by Halloween. Join our other thread July 2013 band buddies. It's a lot of positive comments and people going through similar symptoms. You're not alone and embrace this opportunity to improve your life!

I have spent hours on this app as well as the website real self... If you go through all the stories you will feel so inspired and know u made the right choice! But for real wake up waier than usually take a walk and start a schedule to get ur day started. It's good for ur body to get up and stretch and also helps regulate the gas u r experiencing.
