Hi! I'm scheduled on March 20. My doctor wants me to start walking right away. One month after surgery I "should" be cleared for all activities. I think you'll have no problem reaching your goal but I'm sure your surgeon will give you more specific instructions. Good luck!

Anyone due in a couple of days?

I was "due" 38 years ago with my baby!!! :lol:

all went well :)

oooooops - thats probably not what you meant!!!! :lol:

"almost immediately" after surgery you should be up and around walking slowly in the "halls" of the hospital

many/most people have gas - walking will help that

as soon as you feel up to it, a little more walking is good

i don't know about walking 3 miles right away :unsure:

start off slowly, always listen to your body, how "it" feels

if you are getting tired/weak - don't push it :wacko:

you just had major surgery :huh:

tummy is going to be healing for awhile

so watch it!!! ;)

if you are feeling fine/good/no problem - walking is always a great excercise :)

some people feel well enough to go back to work within a day or two

your doc will tell you when you can do more "official" activity

good luck

speedy recovery :)

      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.
