I was banded on 12/5/08. So far I have lost 21lbs. I am so tired. It seems like if i do something i just get tired. Just walking up the stairs makes me tired. I cooked some chicken in the crock pot to make it very moist, just to eat to get some protein in me thinking that would help, well i thought it helped. has anyone felt like this before?

You only a week and a half out of surgery. I heard it takes a month to get the anesthesia completely out of your system. Also, do those 21 pounds include your pre-op diet? If not and it's 21 pounds since surgery, you could also be tired from too few calories. Are you on liquids or mushies?

You just had surgery. It's going to take you a few weeks

to heal and your eating much less your body need to

adjust. Hang in there, you will be feeling better in no time. 21lbs is so great!!!

Hi. Congratulations on getting your band. Oh I sure know what you are talking about. I was soooo tired after my surgery... for about a month. But that gets better. Now I have more energy than I have had in a long time!!! Hang in there and rest when you can. Take good care of yourself. Happy Holidays!!!
