Banded on 12/28/10 and I feel very uncomfortable. I feel almost like there is a brick on my chest. I am definitely not meeting my protein goals. Maybe 15 grams a day if That. Nor am I drinking enough fluids. is this normal? I'm just not thirsty or hungry at all.

I was banded on the 28th and I have been experiencing the same thing. From what ive heard it's normal. Its very difficult for me to get my liquids/proteins because I'm not hungry or thirsty. All I want to do is sleep. ]
