Hang in there. It's completely normal to feel that way, I think it would be odd not to feel that. The day of my surgery, waiting to go to pre-op, gowned and IV in place and I was questioning if I should be doing this. I think my husband thought I was crazy. If you're like me, who is at least 100 lbs. overweight, I knew I couldn't live that weight forever. Just focus on the future and how much healthier you will be. Take it one day at a time. It will all be worth it.

Yup, good old Chocolate Town USA. I live in York but Hershey was the only place that does the band.

It is so great to hear what us newbies can look forward to. I'm so happy for your weight loss!! That's amazing.

I think that is pretty normal. When they do any kind of laproscopic surgery they fill your belly with gas to give them room to work. Walking seems to help move the gas out, either up or down(ha ha)

I was banded monday 4/28 and am a little disappointed I'm not feeling better than I am. I'm not having much pain just really tired. I've had diarrhea since the morning after and I guess that's why I'm so run down. Mine was out patient too. Hang in there. It has to get better.

Banded 4/28 and am a little disappointed I don't feel better than I do. Not having much pain at all but, I know it's gross but this is my third day of diarrhea and I am exhausted. Did anyone else have this. I called dr. and they said it is probably stomach bug and to keep drinking. Wanted to go back to work on Monday but not sure if I can.

Sounds good. I'll have to try them. Thanks for the tip.

Only day two of pre-op liquids and I already miss food terribly. Pretty pathetic isn't it. Slim fast tastes gross. At least I'm not really hungry, just miss eating. I'm such a mess.

Hi everyone! Just started my liquid diet today. Surgery scheduled for 28th. Can't wait!!!
