I meant killing myself*

I think it depends on how good you feel and what type of exercise you plan to do. I started with walking long miles the second week because I felt great. As I felt better, I started sprinting. Now at 6 weeks, I can run a full lapse on the tracks (I thought I would never be able to)I do 10lbs weights at home and I use resistance bands. I also bought a jump rope with weights. I have a Wii also and I like the step game. I try to vary it without calling myself.

Do you have a fever? Have you been eating at all?

That is so awesome Congrats!!! I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and it has been the best decision I've ever made regarding my health. I wish you the best. Good luck!!

I had the worst gas pain ever! I used the gas x also with little relief. I also had gInger tea, it has anti-inflammatory properties it worked pretty well. I also had my kids pat my back and I used to pat my stomach gently. I also felt that using a heating pad helped relieve my pain as well. You're almost there. By day 4, I was feeling pretty awesome. Good luck!

I agree with the previous post, you seem to be going down the dehydration route and because you're not eating anything you're not producing enough saliva in your mouth. This could be where your bad taste is coming from. I had this too my first couple of days. It will all get better, just try to drink water, if you're not able to swallow anything then you should really consider calling your surgeon asap. I was told that the stomach could somehow close at the very top and that's when food won't go down. Usually for smokers though. Hope you feel better soon!

I am now 194lbs, got the gastric sleeve 3 days ago with starting weight of 202, 199 the day of surgery. I also have the underling medical conditions that got me qualified for the surgery.
