life should have a fast forward button

I'm 4 days post-op and feeling exhausted today. I just walked for about 15 minutes and feel like i walked 5 miles. My port is sore but other than that there is not much pain. I feel like im not taking in enough calories to sustain myself. I'm guessing about 100 cal per day max. I really just laid around all day today with no motivation to do anything. Not to mention my mind constantly thinking about food. I literally try to shake the thoughts out of my head when fajitas or pizza popped in. I'm not feeling physical hunger right now just emotional i think. Does this get any easier or better??? I just wish I could fast forward this part :blink:

Yes it did get easier for me. The head hunger is for sure the worst part for me. I just keep saying to myself "eat less to weigh less" I have been physically full since I got banded. My stomach does make sounds but that does not mean I am hungry. I must go very slow and remember to drink the water. Best wishes and I can relate. I was only banded 7 weeks ago. Time has gone by so fast. Good luck imaluckydog

I got really emotional 4-5 days post op. I think that's pretty normal. I cried over nothing. 4 weeks postop now and much much better. It will get better. Hang in there!
