Hopefully he is ok but you can manage. I came home after 2 nights in but I would have been ok (not awesome, but manageable). I had 2 small kids at home who I got a sitter for but while my husb was at work I took care of myself fine. You'll be up and around, obv would be great to have someone to get you things but you'll be able to manage. Good luck!

I am just telling people 'Its hard, but I'm eating a lot less", not that that's all there is to it but its true and mainly b/c in the past when I lost weight, everyone hated that answer so it shut them right up. People want to hear you did something special but not usually that it's something they could already be doing themselves

Mine was slow-ish also but it will happen. There's a lot of bloating, gas, and constipation that could be to blame. Try not to focus on the weight loss right now-look at how little you're eating now, it will show up on the scale eventually. Hang in there

I've had 2 c-sections which I tolerated well and this (bypass) was nothing compared to that. I was sore but not excruciating-the hardest thing is getting up the 1st time when you don't know how much it will hurt. But walking is the best way to get on w/your recovery! It was slow going and grabbing onto the nurses hand to get up, but not horrible. Obviously everyone is different but being realistic and expecting some pain hopefully means you'll pleasantly surprise yourself. Be honest about your pain scale and speak up if the meds aren't helping. Good luck!

I struggled w/the liquid also. Its rough! The popsicles helped and also (I'm not sure this is allowed but...) I wanted the taste of something I knew I liked. I loved Campbell's soup. So I ate (drank?) the liquid out of campbells soup and it was delicious! Hope this helps but def ask your dr for more suggestions. I can only say this being through the hard part but it is so worth it. Hang in there
