I am so sore, it's hard to imagine this all being worth it. I know it will be, but I can't sleep, eat, burp. I'm just miserable. I know it gets better, I just needed to rant.

Hang in there the worst is almost over. And yes, not being able to burp was a bummer. You will be so glad you did this!

Hello lovely Annie I say lovely because I feel ur pain that was me last week I even told my dr I was failing to see the upside,

The pain came as such a shock to me because everywhere I read said that is was more uncomfortable than pain and hell for me that was wrong.

I can say it does get better, I am 13 days post today and whilst I'm not 100 percent I am feeling a hell of a lot better. I do know u see this everywhere but I started doing 2km walks everyday and it helped me strengthen my muscles again and get used to breathing heavy with all the soreness in my gut. I hope this helps ur not alone!!

hi Annie...i have those moments too....its hard to get comfy to sleep... id like to eat... even yogourt sounds so good right now! but we'll get better !!!lets stay positive we wont feel like this for much longer!!!! hang in there!!

It gets lot's better. Hang in there. When you start and see your weight loss, the clothes sagging on you, can sit in booths in places you couldn't sit before, you'll love the new you. When the doctor starts removing certain medications because of your loss of weight and your back, legs and feet don't bother you anymore, you will know why you went through all of this. YOU already know diets alone don't work very well form past experiences.

Keep on track! YOU can do it!

Best wishes

Hi Annie. Yes i too felt the same way an I am no stranger to surgerys.

One week post op i finally tried to get out side an walk it was Oct. though anyhow i went with my husband an a cane. Only doing very small distances at first but after a week of doing that i was up to a whole block or too.

It does get better just hang in there.

Hello,

In a week you will be very happy you got banded. I agree the first few days are miserable. It will get better!!!!

Take care of yourself and keep us posted

I was banded on Thursday and have some spin, but I have been walking around the house every hour and it has help and and all I have been able to drink is Water, diet ice t and one shake, but I keep walking and taking my meds when needed. I have taker gas x to help out the air and a heating pad. I wish you all the best!!!

Nothing worth having is easy.

Couple of lousy days will lead to a lifetime of healthy and happy.

You can do it! You are stronger than you think you are.

Rent a great movie, read a book you can't put down, and thing to distract your mind. Keep posting!

Thanks everyone. I just need to try and focus on why I'm doing this.

We are with you. Come back anytime!

i got banded jan 7th so i still remember what that feels like pretty dang well.. yeah my parents started clapping whenever i did my little baby burps cuz it was such an accomplishment but i agree with what some other people said, i would walk around alot when the pressure was bad and it helped so much. even though i dont know from experience yet cuz i havnt had my first fill yet i know that it will all be worth it!

hang in there, you will feel so much better just within the week!

good luck!

Thanks everyone. I just need to try and focus on why I'm doing this.

I feel your pain I got banded on Thursday and today i feel a bit better but very tight on my tummy

I totally feel your pain Annie. I was banded Wednesday and was miserable until just a day or two ago. I was in tears because the pain was so bad and I was questioning my choice.

It does get better. Make sure to drink, walk and breathe.

I'm starting to feel way better. I slept for almost 10 hours last night. Woke up feeling very little pain. I ate, I feel good. And I get to finally shower today.

What did u eat annie?
