One week post-op

So today is my first week after op. So far, I'm feeling better, but first week was rough!

I still really nauseous (this is the worst part for me, more than the Gas pain), and I had a couple of episodes that I thought I was going to throw up, but it was a HUGE burp, and it hurt a little. Mostly now, I'm feeling really weak, and I don't want to eat anything, literally. I never thought I would say this but I'm not really interested in food at all now! (so weird). I tried to get a couple of shakes, but after a few sips I was so nauseous that It's super hard for me eat something more solid than Water. I'm having a greek yogurt now, and so far is working it's way, but I still feel super weak. I know it's because I haven't get any foods or Proteins, but I really feel kinda down right now and I don't want to eat :(

14 pounds down in a week.

any ideas to get some energy back? this is my problem now, I'm at work and it's so hard not to think I just want to sleep. :huh:

Wowwww! 14lbs in 1 week! Amazing! I'm 11days post op & I've lost 8lbs thus far. I know how u feel. Im scared to eat. I'm still not getn 60-65gm of Protein a day. I'm on puree/soft foods. Some days I'd rather not have anything & just sleep. I'm hoping it gets better. I'm tired A LOT & I know its from lack of protein. Yesterday I tried Jamba juice for the 1st time. They have fruit smoothies with whey protein. Needless to say I didn't finish a 16oz til today. We have to take this one day at a time & try not to over think it.

Have u tried walking or light house work like washing dishes or a load of laundry. Washing dishes has helped me. I turn on the music & I forget I have a lapband, I'm in my zone. Lol. Good luck!

Definitely takes some time but once you really start to heal you will start feeling like doing more. Walks helped me and getting some fresh air

Hello ladies, yes...my hubby makes me walk around the neighborhood every night. It helps, but since I'm back to work and on my desk all day, I'm really unmotivated without energy. I feels so sloooooooooow. Hopefully I will get better during the weekend. Today was a better day though, the best on so far :)
