I was walking within 5 hours of surgery. Try to go for 5-10 mins every 45mins to every hour it really truly does help w pain and getting rid of those gasses

I was up and walking about 3hours after my surgery, and where I got my sleeve done I was at the hospital less then 24hrs. I had my surgery at 12:30 in the afternoon on 1/28 I was home by 10am on the 29. But I know a lot of places do require a 2-3 day stay.

I stayed two nights and much like the others, was able to walk several hours after surgery. I only walked a few minutes at a time, about every 1 1/2 - 2 hours. It did help with gas and pain some. My band insertion surgery seemed more painful... as I recall the port killed me for at least a week.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
