Feeling the same as you. Just wierd and a little uncomfortable just under my ribs in the middle. Lots of wierd, awful dreams last night - so I'm hoping to nap a bit today and cut some of the pain killers. I'm on clear liquid only - no calories. Yesterday I talked them into some clear non-fat chicken broth. Such a treat. I tried warm Decaf tea and think perhaps it had some hidden caffiene. Did not feel well afterward. Must work on those tiny sips. My surgery was in Dayton Ohio. I felt that the care was exceptional. I do need to search out a support group etc. It is going to be a long haul and I have lots to loose. How about you?

I got banded on Sept 12th and feel the same way...I have been sipping on Water and also Crystal Light...but after I tried the Soup did not have such a great feeling....They say with the gas it takes up to a week and a half to get it all out....We should be doing fine in a few days...keep me up to date..

Melissa, I am on day 17 since surgery. It will take about a week till you feel "normal" again. Keep up with the liquids and you will do fine. PS. the Mushies will be a great change when you get to them. Just a little something for you to look forward to. ....Dave

I was banded Aug. 15. - almost 5 weeks ago. I was a complete mess in the first few days! Dizzy, feint, completely whacked, and awful pain in my left shoulder that I thought was going to take my head off! I didn't eat anything, resisted when anybody wanted me to drink anything - a terrible patient for my kids and hubby, let me tell you. You sound like you are doing tremendous! Kudos to you, sweetie!:clap2:

I made it thru day 5! I went to Walmart today! omg! I got so tired in walmart i had to use one of those motorized carts. I came home and slept for 4 hours. Being tired is something im not used 2. I am usually full of energy and having family members tell me to relax. I think the anesthesia is what is making me so tired. I have lost 7lbs since my surgery. I am so excited! How are you doing today?

Dave01 · September 17, 2007

Melissa, Glad to hear you are doing good. Whats with banded people and Walmart? I find myself there a lot just for a cool place to walk...LOL

Congrats on the weight loss. Your energy will return. It took me a little while too....Dave
