Hi All, I was banded 3/14/07 and I just wanted to know if anyone else was tired one day and fine the next? I felt great yesterday even went shopping a few hours, today I can't keep my eyes open. :notagree Is this normal has anyone else felt this way??

Hi,

dont be nervous its perfectly normal, your body is in shock, your cal intake is so low that sometimes you have no energy and sometimes the body gets little bit more food so you feel better.

I went throuhg this:-)

good luck to you

I haven't been banded yet - but I've had a few surgeries, a big one and a few little ones - and I've had alot of surgeries in my family (cancer) - and it is very normal after any surgical procedure to be that way - alot of it is your body recovering and being in shock, alot of it is the afteraffects of anesthesia. For some reason I think I remember reading that it can sort of stay in your muscles or fat tissue and make it's way out of your body - so sometimes you feel tired/drowsy, sometimes not. But I saw it and felt it myself - all very normal.

I was also banded same day as you and today I went to Walmart and I felt sooo bad I came home and checked my blood pressure and it was 102/60 and I take BP medicine so maybe check your blood pressure and have a look at the medicines you take if any... you might have to have them adjusted...or it might just be everything we are going through...what is your diet like now...are you still on liquids?

Hey Bsoutherngirl yes I'm on clear liquids for 16 days. My follow up is the 29th. I am not on any medications except the vitamins and calcium other than asthma meds if needed. I didn't feel hungery until today and I'm not sure if I'm hungery or bored. I'm not use to being home like this, I work full time varied shifts, so this sitting around is killing me. It's to cold to walk outside and I can't drive til my follow-up exam. So I have a case of the couped-ups. Sorry to wine hope your fee;ing better soon.
