Ldimples 73 Posted November 11, 2014 Recently BANDED DAY 11 GOING GOOD During the pre-op liquid diet stage most of us had a very bad headache (I did ????), can you tell me if after the surgery do you still have a headache from not eating much. The headache was the worst of the pre-op liquid diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ldimples 73 Posted November 24, 2014 I am 5 day post op and I am regretting the surgery. I am allowed pureed food but I am not really hungry, I aam able to get things down like eggs, chicken, even some chili but have to force myself to eat. A little depressed because I am not really enjoying food right now. Whenever I eat I feel like it just sits in my chest and I eat slow and it is pureed good and I even chew it good. I feel uncomfortable feeling in my chest most of the day. Will I always feel like this? I am drained most of the day and can not feel like my normal self. I thought I would be back to work this Monday but I have decided to stay out a few more days. I am just so depressed. I just want to feel like me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susancae 36 Posted November 24, 2014 My doctor told me that after surgery I'd feel like I wasnt hungry for a while but to make sure I drank my shakes. Maybe you should go to a support group? That may help with your depression! And im sure you wont always feel like that! . Maybe try walking on a tredmill have you lost any weight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
