Hi All,

I had my surgery on 10/24, 10 days ago. I am on full liquids, however I admit that I have eaten a couple non-full liquid meals like a little of my husband's rice casserole. The casserole was soft and didn't cause any problems. My main concern is how tired I get after I eat meals. I am mainly talking about the full liquid meals, like cream of chicken or cream of potato Soup. I can only eat about 1/2 cup and I am full, then then I feel sooo tired and EXTREMELY sleepy. I don't know what I am going to do once I return to work on Monday. I won't be able to take a quick nap after meals. I must admit taking a brisk walk afterward does help with the full feeling and wakes me up a bit, but I just can't understand why I get so tired.

Are you getting in your protein and water quota?

That was about the time I went through a tiredness, but not connected with eating.

You are probably right, I just received my order of Unjury protein powder supplement yesterday. I need to begin using it. You are also right about my water intake, I know I have to improve with that. So, do you think that could be the problem?

If you have been napping for the last 10 days, your body is probably use to it and expects it, you need to stop the napping and fight thru it.

Hi! I had my surgery 10/17. I went for my first fill on 11/1 and ever since then I have the should pain. Do you have it?

Most definitely! You should have been doing Protein shakes about 7 days ago.

Really important you keep hydrated too.

Work on that , I'm sure you'll feel better.

You are still in the healing stage. I felt the same way and had to nap! But you probably are not eating much protein. Make sure you have that and your chewable vitamins. Drink plenty of water!!!!! It was a feat the first two months to feel back to real normal. I'm two years banded now or almost, and a lot of posts are some similar experiences in which we all learn from, avoid, or gain knowledge. Hope you get feeling better.

Thank you all so much for your input, it has definitely helped me a lot. I am going to increase my Protein intake and liquids. I can't wait to feel my "new normal."

@Melony, yes I have the left side shoulder pain too at times, usually it's after I have eaten. I have my husband rub my back and shoulders and it really feels good afterward. I am off the pain meds now, so this has helped a lot.
