WALK....and walk....and walk. Your stomach is not going to fall out..hell, it's dam near gone! Roll your shoulders after surgery as much as possible to prevent gas from traveling up. Start a stool softener ASAP. Chapstick is a must! Listen closely to what you are told...it's all true! Eat slow and drink lots!!
I feel amazing and I had surgery Jan. 23. Down 38 lbs!
Good LUCK!
