My first 3 days, when I woke up in my room I had a lot of pain from the gas they use, the nurse told me that walking will help so right away I tried to get up but still to drugged and felt I was going to pass out right away the nurse put a wet towel on my face and I Fell back to sleep for the rest of the day didn't have anything to drink at all. Next day went for my upper gi test and from then on I was on clear liquids but could not get much at all down. Walking is the most important to my recovery so I would go further each time. By day 3 I would have very little pain meds felt they are to strong, since my surgery was in Houston and live in San Antonio the doctor released till the next morning cause the car ride is about 3 hours long.

I'm doing good but never hungry and have to be reminded to drink my protein, water is your best friend I have learned not crystal light. I have lost 33lbs so far but have stalled for the past 4 days!

I had my gastric bypass on May 1st

I'm 16 days post op and 32lbs off but I too was freaking out cause it's been a stall for the past 3-4 days and I am burning about 250 calories on treadmill, I was drinking crystal light and I'm thinking that's the problem so cutting that out...

It takes any where from a week to 30 days but more then likely a week, then you to attend a class and then get the blood work for the hospital including EKG test. Then the hospital gives you a appointment date and time. After I got approved it took about a month. Just had my surgery on the first of this month.
