Hey ladies and gents, just got banded yesterday. Feeling bloated, weak, sore and veryyyyy tired ????

Congrats, now lie down and relax. Heal, get ready to think about good things. Including a focus on what you will eat, drink and your choice of exercise. Forget about the fattening food that you ate that added weight on you.

Hi there and congratulations! Those first few days I alternated napping and little spurts of walking -- pretty sure the walking is what kicks the body into healing mode, releasing any trapped gas and letting everything go back into the right place. Take good care of yourself -- and pat yourself on the back. You have taken a giant step in choosing yourself and your healthy future. Way to go!

Thanks ladies I have been walking every two hrs around the hospital. About to get my first liquid meal.

Great going!! What an exciting time for you!!! Remember to take it easy on yourself, though you may feel GREAT you just had major surgery and your body inside and out needs time to heal. Easy does it and lots of TLC. A well placed ice pack, some ice pops and tea wouldn't hurt either
