So I was banded on Monday October 29th with a hernia repair , I am feeling so tired and what did I do to myself talks......so when do guys start feeling "normal or a new normal"and yeah me???

Cause its not here right now. I am finding it hard to get down protien drinks a 1/4 cup and it makes me feel so full. Also having diarhea and just feeling like a rag. I am on clear fluids until friday and saturday start full fliuds however Im not even excited cause I feel so full from just sipping on clear. My incisions are not sore just feels like I did a lot of situps but the darn gas!!!! ugh if it wasnt for the gas and I am walking. Sorry for the rant just frustrated and a little jealous of the people that sail through this

You sound just like me 21/2 wks ago. It's all normal. You will feel better and better every day. Just hang in there!

Check with Dr, but I was able to take Imodium for diarrhea. Only took one tab and they make it in chewable.

You're only four days out from major surgery, you're supposed to feel bad. My WORST day was the seventh day post-op. Then it just got better from there.

I had a hard time too so don't feel bad. I felt like I was beat up and had no energy. I finally felt like myself a week later. But was okay about 5 days after. Just take it easy and don't feel bad about how you feel.
