And still sore and tired! It is depressing! I keep hoping to turn the corner and feel better. At what point did people feel more normal?

Pennie

8/10

for me, 8-10 days i was ready to go back to work and feeling more like myself

you will soon...hang in there, your doing great

Everyone is different but I am sure you should start feeling a lot better soon.

I felt much better day 3-4, and went back to dork day 6. I am tired at the end of the day, but I was before the surgery too. Hang in there it will get better.

I am having surgery on the 24th. I hope I recover quickly. I will let you know how I go on.

I was banded 5 days ago and went and walked around shopping for two hours yesterday and feeling pretty good today. I have discovered getting a double shot of protein with only 8 oz of milk= 40 grams of protein, has helped me get through the day. Also, I'm taking a chewable 5000 B-12 tablet, chewable multivitamins, and a chewable vitamin D-3. Check to make sure your getting all your vitamins in every day and lots of water. Hope you feel well soon!!

I was banded on the 15th. I went for a 20 minute walk the following day, and was fine, but then I was very sore yesterday. Today has been better, still relaxing but getting acclimated. I think I'm hungry, but I'm not sure lol, I guess I'm learning :-).

I was banded on the 15th. Feeling a bit crappy, crabby ect today. Chest pain, and just trying to deal. Good luck, to us. Feel better !

I am 4 days post opt with a hernia repair and I feel much better today. I only have pain at the port site.

Hello- now I am eight days post op and feel horribly tired. I am very pasty looking. Getting a little afraid I will be tired like this forever. How is everyone doing now?

On my 3rd day I was feeling great, but continued my 10 days off work to heal and relax.

I am on day 6 and I feel wonderful. I am a little sore if I pump the site or what not. I have off 4 weeks but I had a hernia repaired and I have a job with heavy lifting and pulling. I hope you feel better!

I think everyone is different, my first few days were a little rough but by day 8-10, I felt much more like myself. Good luck, I'm sure you will feel better soon!

I'm day 5 post op. and today I am feeling more normal. The gas pains are tolerable now. I just have pain at the port site. I got up folded clothes and washed dishes and feel much better. I go back to work tomorrow. We will see how that goes.
