I had surgery Tuesday. I'm not really having any trouble with gas pains or anything. My chest feels a little tight when I take deep breaths but my doc said that was from the anesthesia and would work it's self out in a couple of days.

My doctor told me to only do 3 days of full liquids, 3 days of creamy liquids then soft foods until I felt like I could tolerate more solid food. But I'm not hungry at all, and I don't feel hungry at all.

When does you appetite come back? Not that I miss it or anything, I'm just curious....

Thanks,

Laura

Hi Laura,

I was banded on Tuesday as well. I don't have much of an appetite either but am trying to get a protein shake or two in every day. I am on full liquids for two weeks. When did you go home?

Hey there I was banded on Tuesday too same here I'm doing the best I can to drink what I need too. Good luck y'all

I was banded March 9th and it took a while for my appetite to come back. Remember to take it slow and not rush yourself. You are healing right now and that takes a while. You will do awesome!

I got to come home on Wed. afternoon. My belly is a mass of bruises.... I think that hurts more than anything else. I did manage to eat about 2 ounces of yogurt today and I'm working on finishing off my 2nd protein shake. I just made 2 big shakes and split them into small amounts and I've been working on those all day. I'm getting there tho.... It's weird but I thought it was going to be a lot harder than this... well not that I think it's easy I just thought I would be in a lot more pain and discomfort.
