Anyone else newly banded and feel like a limp rag?

I was banded on 6/23. I am on Clear liquids for 7 days after surgery. I was doing ok until the diarrhea kicked in. So now, Clear Liquids in, liquids out, and I am so hungry I can't describe it. I'm not complaining, just looking for others who may be in this spot. I look forward to my Flintstones Vitamin more than I can describe!

Thankfully, my hubby is home, as I don't think I would be able to fully care for my three little ones.

Blessings to all!

Hang in there it will get better soon. For me day 7 I was feeling fair and by day 10 excellent. Try to add as much Protein as you can to those liquids to help ease the hunger...Good luck!

Hi,

I was banded on 6/24. Diarrhea kicked in today and I feel weak. I'm considering liquid Imodium if this continues. I had a hard time finding Protein Powder and ended up with chocolate whey. Can't really add it to anything except CHOCOLATE I don't know what I was thinking! Keep in touch and good luck to you!!!!!

I was banded Tuesday, 6/24 and I have been very tired - so I rest - but I noticed that today was better than yesterday and I am sure tomorrow will be better than today. Hang in there - things can only get better!

I was banded on the 25th. I have been drinking like crazy with my Proteins and my Water, broth etc.. I also got a bonus.. I have tonsilitus!! UGGH!! I only drink about 2-4 oz at a time and am full for quite a while so am doing great I think. I love my chicken broth. Tomorrow I get to add cream Soups and stuff like that.. Can't wait!!
