Lots of rest, adapting to your healing body, soreness.

During the first week I switched from liquids to full liquids, started trying to hit my numbers with Protein and Water intake and getting a schedule for all of my Vitamins. I was sore but had no pain. Did find it difficult to sleep in my bed the first week, others have no problems.

Good luck!

My bmi was 36 on surgery day and best advice I can give is to walk ASAP and often. My experience has mimicked the norm. I do get tired so make sure you allow for periods of rest. The weight will fall off but don't expect 30-40 lbs in the first month. At your starting bmi , slow and steady is best ( helps keep the wrinkles and saggies away!). That being said, those first 20 lbs will be more noticeable than those of us with higher starting weights. I wish you much luck!
