Im new here. I was banded 9/20. I have spoken a little on some threads and figure its time to introduce myself. Y'all r all so nice here and Im happy to have found this ap.

I started at 227 .. Have never been over weight really.. Had ovary cancer 2 yrs ago and had a hysterectomy and stopped smoking. So i had went from 140 to 227 in about 5-6 yrs. I love food period! When i jogged i could eat a lot but once i stopped running i gained fast.

I have been depressed the last few days... Wondering what on earth i have done! I can't burp, in sore, weak, feel a little confused or uninterested .. Im glad i have y'all!

Each day you will see improvements, your pain will get better, you will start having more energy and once you start having fills your appetite will decrease. This to shall pass, hang in there. I read this site for encouragement. When I read people reaching their goals I know it's reachable for me too!

Ty! Im not hungry at all. Im just need to be constantly working in the yard or house and know i can't.. Ty for your reply

I am 11 days out and trust me it get Better!! I was crying a lot and feeling really weak. Once you recuperate and start taking in a little more calories you will feel much better. Even my family noticed a big difference in my attitude. Just hang in there

I am 8 days post op and back to work. I was going stir crazy sitting around the house. Went out for good walks a few times a day, caught up with family and friends. As someone else said, I am burping like it is my job. Surgery kicks you and the faster you can get off the pain pills, get moving around the clearer your head will be.

Be gentle on yourself, take it one day at a time!!

I am off pain med. I have no trouble.moving around bit feel faint if i walk more than 50 steps

Welcome lousianalady. Best wishes for your new future. Karen
