Topic: Anyone kinda blue after surgery?
I've gone from being super excited to almost wishing I didn't do this..... I don't have much physical pain but I just feel really tired and flat emotionally. Is this normal at all? Will I feel better in a few days? I have suffered from depression in the past and I don't ever want to go through that again. Sorry if I'm bringing anyone down, but I could really use some input....

I am sooooooo jealous! I also was banded the 15th and I haven't lost ANYTHING! I think I dipped into the starvation mode because I was only tolerating only about 100 to 200 cal a day and that was after I was able to drink and swallow. Congrats on your wt loss and I hope to join you soon.
Topic: RE: Alright- gross- but can you burp????
I have also felt the bubble in the middle of my chest i would assume that we are talking about the same thing. If i cant burp i do find it painful. This morning I woke up with a huge bubble and was in pain for almost 15 min before I could burp. I emailed my dr and they said that it is normal and to take gas-x to help with it. I have not had problems burping but sometimes it takes a little time. Did you have shoulder pain from the surgery?
Topic: RE: Surgery on 5/27
God bless each one of you facing surgery tomorrow! I will definitely keep you in my prayers tomorrow throughout the day.
I'm 5 days post-op and doing well. I'm sore when I stand and sit, but other than that feel pretty darn good. I get to graduate to soft foods tomorrow, so I'm excited about that! If someone had told me 6 months ago I'd be thrilled about eating Cream of Wheat I would have called them crazy!
Keep the faith and welcome to the loser's bench!
