First Day Home

I am home from my banding and I cannot get comfortable...Not sitting not laying...not anywhere...its driving me crazy.  Does anybody have any suggestions...I am so Tired...

And being so tired is making me miserable...and questioning my sanity in getting this procedure done..

Please ...anybody with any thoughts on this matter.?

walk, walk, walk.

It is the only thing that finally made me start to feel better.
Oh and I ended up sleeping in a reclining chair for a week or so.  I couldn't get comfortable in bed, I am a stomach and side sleeper and it just hurt the stomach too much.

its probubly gas. the surgeon pumps you full of it during surgery. Moving, walk is the best way to get rid of it.

Walk, sip fluids, take your pain meds.  When you wake up, walk some more.  And more.  Walk gently as much as you can. 

It's normal!

Well I did discover if I took the pain meds I felt better...I have been walking and sipping...
But since this is the 3rd day home..I am feeling a little better...I just can't sit still...
So I am getting alot done.

I want to feel normal...thats all and I have lethargy..I'm not myself.  Oh well I guess that will all come together.

Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for the advice.

I think I felt best by day 4............it gets better.  I was helping someone move (not lifting per se) by day 7. 

Good to know...its all pretty over whelming..trying to drink, drink drink, walk walk walk, and breathe too.
I just would love a good nites sleep...
But here''s to turning the corner around day 4....

Thanks for the positive comments.
