I was banded Monday. I am exhausted, terrible gas pains and can't take more than 2 sips in a half hour period. I plan to return to work Monday and I still can't brush my teeth!

Give yourself some time to adjust. I am 7 days post op and feel a little better each day. I am still sore and a bit bloated. I don't think I did anything but sleep for the first 4 days. Around day 5 I had more motivation and no more need for any pain/nausea meds. Just listen to what your body is telling you it needs. Best wishes to you both!

Was banded 2 days ago has anyone experienced extreme tiredness I know it might be pain killers but I can't keep my eyes open so frustrating

you should be tired for several days rest and heal , you will feel better soon

It will get better but now is the time to be kind to yourself and rest up. I took two weeks off of work because I wanted to really focus on myself during that pre-op time with a lot of time to walk and rest and it was a lifesaver for me!

      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.
