Walk walk and walk. I was up walking as soon as i got to my room. Helped with the pain and got things working. I am 6 weeks post and feel like a new person. Also measure everything you consume. Do not take in too much at one time. I am on regular food and need 135 grams of Protein daily. That is tough to do but I get close. Weight is still falling off. Cloths are an issue also. Nothing fits.
