How long after your RNY (assuming Laparoscopically) were you walking around and starting to feel normal again ? I know you have to start physically moving shortly after surgery to prevent blood clots or anything, but when did you start feeling "normal", as in you can walk further distances and such.

I felt pretty normal after about 3 weeks, but it took another 3 weeks to get my full energy back.
