Hi,

dont be nervous its perfectly normal, your body is in shock, your cal intake is so low that sometimes you have no energy and sometimes the body gets little bit more food so you feel better.

I went throuhg this:-)

good luck to you

I haven't been banded yet - but I've had a few surgeries, a big one and a few little ones - and I've had alot of surgeries in my family (cancer) - and it is very normal after any surgical procedure to be that way - alot of it is your body recovering and being in shock, alot of it is the afteraffects of anesthesia. For some reason I think I remember reading that it can sort of stay in your muscles or fat tissue and make it's way out of your body - so sometimes you feel tired/drowsy, sometimes not. But I saw it and felt it myself - all very normal.

I was also banded same day as you and today I went to Walmart and I felt sooo bad I came home and checked my blood pressure and it was 102/60 and I take BP medicine so maybe check your blood pressure and have a look at the medicines you take if any... you might have to have them adjusted...or it might just be everything we are going through...what is your diet like now...are you still on liquids?

Hey Bsoutherngirl yes I'm on Clear Liquids for 16 days. My follow up is the 29th. I am not on any medications except the Vitamins and Calcium other than asthma meds if needed. I didn't feel hungery until today and I'm not sure if I'm hungery or bored. I'm not use to being home like this, I work full time varied shifts, so this sitting around is killing me. It's to cold to walk outside and I can't drive til my follow-up exam. So I have a case of the couped-ups. Sorry to wine hope your fee;ing better soon.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
