My big day is tomorrow 8/14 (Lap Gastric Bypass). I want to get a great start so any info on the first week to 10 days would sure help me sleep tonight.

I have been a lurker lately, this forum is great.
I will be proud to join the team myself tomorrow

Thanks, Keith

Welcome aboard and good luck tomorrow! During my first week, I did much of nothing. I did manage to get up and walk as much as possible, but I felt like my body needed rest in addition to the walk/sip/walk/sip mantra I had heard. It worked out good for me. Also, don't try to be Hercules and NOT take your pain medicine they send you home with. That stuff afforded me the best rest I've had in a long time! No need to hurt when the meds are available.

Take it one day at a time. It really is a jopurney and not a race. BTW the unflavored ice chips in the hospital are much better than the plain ones. Ask for the unflavored ice chips. They are scrumptious.

Good luck Keith. Hope all is smooth. Just plan to be bored for the first 10 days or so. Take it easy and let your body heal up. And oh yes, sip sip sip - walk walk walk -sip sip sip. Just doexactly as the Doc says and it won't be long til you are feeling the benefits and going like heck. Welcome to the Locker Room.

We'll move down a spot and make room for you. Good luck and we'll see you on the other side.

The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

Keith,

Good luck in the morning Dude!

Since you have already been advised of the first two mantras of life post WLS (sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk) I will just jump to #3 and #4. Any problems - CALL YOUR DOCTOR!! NEVER, ever trust a fart!!

You may "redecorate" your surroundings!
