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.

My surgery is on Nov 19th, all of you have really helped me know what to expect. I am almost there 3 more days. ???? A little scared but you all help me not to let the unknown paralyze me with fear. Thank you.

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.

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?

Dimples that sounds closer to my experience and I got a lot better 7 days out. Have you thought about going back to a liquid diet? That may help

My date is December 4th. I was told to start my pre op diet the day after Thanksgiving. That only gives me a week. I'm nervous.
