Like how long did it take for you to be yourself again? Your normal self

anybody around?

About week 3 I felt like I had nothing done and was eating normally

nice, I can't wait till I feel normal again maybe I'll feel normal sooner

It was about 4 weeks for me, before that my energy level was pretty low.

hopefully mine is short

Great question Erin...exactly what I've been thinking about today!

I was banded 5 days ago and have been on an emotional roller coaster today. The discomfort is horrible, I am sure it is gas, but it is only in the left side of my abdomen. UGH, what have I done to myself? I keep trying to think positive but man it is hard when my family gets to eat what they want. I love food, I just don't know if I can make it. Feeling myself again would be wonderful compared to how I am feeling now.

other than aggravation from a lack of weight loss... i feel back to my old self physicaly, and have since week 3. and once you start eating regular food, it will happen that must faster. hang in there!!!

I had my surgery on Friday and was back in class on Tuesday and I felt WONDERFUL! I guess I'm either really lucky...or too hardheaded to know I didn't feel good. :ohmy:

I wanted the band SO MUCH...and had already had 1 surgery just under 3 weeks before and didn't get it, so I felt marvelous once I had it.

normal? Today I got to eat mushy (anything I could mush with afork ) 2 teaspoons of cream of wheat for breakfast, 3tablespoons of mash potaoes for lunch and about an ounce of boiled squash for dinner scared to death to eat any more then that but really I am not hungry but I know I have to eat to start to feel normal. other then the discomfort at the port site I feel pretty good ( banded July 31)

seems like a dew ppl got banded same day as me, I font feel the same yet but most gas I'd gone and sometimes my left abs hurt
