Congratulations. Just make sure you're getting enough Water. I was banded on 7/23. Doing well. Had doc appointment and lost 8 pounds since last Tuesday.

Congrats, I was banded on the 25th.. what does your post op diet consist of? Make sure u are getting plenty of water.

I'm on clear liquids and broth for 2 weeks! I thought I would starve but this has been way easier for me than the pre op 2 week liquids...gonna try uping my water intake..it just feels nasty so my teeth have been getting brushed alot! Lol thanks for congrats! Congrats to you to!

Sounds like dehydration. I didn't drink enough water yesterday and woke up feeling the same way!

I felt like that too. Even though your on liquids, water, water, water!! I couldnt stand drinking water in the morning until something went down first with flavor. I drank a lot of the kids fruitable box juices. But the meds from surgery can play havoc for a few days too. Dehydration just sucks but get 64 oz of water in daily not including juice. It will get better shortly!!

I had the same issue and was told it could be the residual affects of anesthetia. It went away by drinking lots of liquids and frozen pops helped too.

Ok thanks so much!

Broth has Alot of sodium offset with water,water and more water

I had surgery on the 25th and have the same problem. My issue is that I just can't drink that much! It took me 90 minutes to drink 12 oz. of chicken broth last night. Crazy! Told my husband I just wanted to guzzle a big glass of Water, but I know I CAN'T do that! If I take anything bigger then a sip, though, I get that full feeling and can't drink anymore. Even taking my meds in the morning fills me up!

I know I'm only 2 days post-op and his will get better. I was up 6 pounds from the day of to the day after surgery from all the liquids they pumped into me via the IV, so I've got that, but all I want to do is drink a big glass of water and I can't.

I had my surgery on the 25th too. Physically, I feel better than I anticipated but feeling crummy stomach wise. It took me an hour to get my protein shake down this a.m. and there was no way I could get the recommended lunch and dinner one down. I am not nauseous but just an "ucky" feeling. Anyone have experience with this? I feel like even though I barely had anything today that I may have been overdoing it too quickly when I did. I hope this subsides as I have been kind of down feeling crummy and (sorry, Tmi) gassy. Hope this may just be still residual effects from anesthesia. Good luck to everyone!
