WALK WALK WALK!! GasX or Gavisgone (sp) will help

Try really hard to drink your protein drinks...Popsicles also taster REALLY good right after surgery...walk as often as you can and it will help keep the gas pain away...I burped a lot...so let yourself. CONGRATS and welcome to the family of Banders!! I am a week and 4 days out and by no way an expert...bit I have done AWESOME!!

GREAT ADVISE!!! That is EXACTLY what I did!! Research, Research, Research!!! WLS was a last resort for me. I had lost a ton of weight....20 years ago...and gained it all back and then some...after many fad diets and Weight Watchers. WEIGHT WATCHERS works!! But you you HAVE to stick with it!! I couldn't do it any more...So now I do not have a choice and I HAVE to be good or get sick or have MAJOR problems!! This WLS has now basically FORCED my hand at doing what I should have done a long time ago!!!
--A toast to the New Year and the New Me...Here is to making an INFORMED, EDUCATED DECISION to prolong my life!!!! WOOT WOOT!!! I got this!!!!

Well...I do not have kids if my own...???? But I have 15 4th, 5th and 6th grade Girl Scouts and 40 1st - 5th grade Cub Scouts!! And each one is just as AWESOME as the other!!! So, it was OK. My girls were all head strong for cookie sales and money plans and the boys...well, lets just say...they were CrAzY little boys with a TON of energy lady night. Love Then ALL!!

Hey BT!! That was the same with me!! We are severely short handed and I had used a HUGE PORTION of my off time for the PRE appointments getting ready for the surgery!! So, I had my surgery on a Wednesday morning and went back to work the following Monday. That gave me 5 days w/ the surgery day. However, I have a desk job so I wasn't standing for long periods. But, the days I was off...I RESTED!! I walked to take care of the gas stuff and the lung stuff...but NOTHING else...my TV Remote, Kindle and iPhone were all but attached to me!! GOOD LUCK!!

First day back to work went well... The 10 million (exaggeration) wore me out first thing...other than being tired...I made it!!! Then I had a Girl Scout Meeting and a Cub Scout Meeting!! Came home, showered, ate and into bed!! WOW!!
