Finally and they said everything looks perfect. No leaks and no obstructions of any kind. Trying to sip water and tomorrow they give me protein and then if I do well with that I can go home tomorrow. Had a lot of pain today but a lot of it was gas. The meds are helping the abdominal pain pretty well although it's painful to move. The walking is finally helping me to release some of the gas. So I'm hanging in there!

Keep walking even if it hurts because it will help more with the gas than anything else. And keep drinking too because dehydration is the biggest issue after surgery.

Be careful. Don't automatically eat what they put in front of you. Read the labels. Hospitals are notorious for forgetting we are Bariatric patients.

Very good advice from Chilipepper.I had hernia surgery a few weeks ago they brought in my tray and it was stuff I couldn't eat.
