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.

      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.
