Surgery Set Up For 5/21 Thinking Of Backing Out
That's why I didn't tell many people. I did my research and there's more success stories than horror stories. You also have to realize that some people don't do what they are supposed to do. Then they won't to blame the doctor.

Exercise
Keep walking it will get better. Don't over do it. If you feel tired sit down. Remember you just had major surgery. My surgery was April 23rd. I didn't realize how out of shape i was. The more I walk the better I feel. Every couple of days I try to walk a little further. I'm actually down 30 pounds. I am so happy. Good luck on your recovery.

Thrush
I had it. I didn't think of calling the doctor. I just scraped my tongue in the morning and at nite before I brushed. Eventually it went away.

Surgery Tomorrow ;-)
I'll be praying for you. Tips for the hospital is to walk when you can. It helps with the gas and stops you from getting real stiff. Good luck tomorrow.

Yay
I was going to say the same thing. Walk even if your dragging your feet. You might feel better laying down but the gas will just sit there. If your up and about eventually it will come out. Good luck.

My Post Op So Far!
Hello everyone. I am 9 days post op. I am down 23 pounds and I feel great. My surgery was April 23rd. I must say it wasn't bad at all. I was very sore the first two days but nothing major. I'm tolerating my diet very well. I haven't been sick at all and everything goes down smoothly. I didn't even have gas. Maybe because after recovery and then I went to my room with in n hour I was walking. Also they gave me nexium in my iv. I even started walking about a half hour everyday. At first it was hard because I kept getting tired now out of nowhere I have a bunch of energy. I had my first pre op doctors visit on monday and the doctor said I was doing great. My only problem is how your taste buds change. Before the surgery I liked the shakes. Now I'm having trouble getting them down. I even have isopure unflaved powder and I don't like that either. I tried it in tomato soup, cream of chicken soup and cream of wheat. I didn't like it in anything. I go back to the doctors on Tuesday, maybe he will upgrade my diet so I can actually get more protein from a meal. Like tuna, egg whites, eggbeaters etc. any suggestions on getting my protein in? Otherwise I'm doing great.
