I have RNY surgery next Monday and have a few weeks home by myself afterward. (My husband is home but works nights). I know I'll exercise, and I have movies, books, and magazines lined up.

Does anyone have other ideas of how to pass the time?

The first week just getting in your fluids and protein is a full time job. Week two I had that part down. I began to increase exercise. I actually took four 15 minute walks throughout the day. I did read and watch TV/movies. By week three I was so ready to go back to work - you can only do so much reading and TV watching! Good luck!!

I don't recall getting bored. The first 3 weeks flew by for me. I took multiple walks a day, multiple naps a day, and had my head buried in WLS related books and websites such as this.
