One day out!

I'm on my way. The gas pain was killer yesterday, still pretty bad today but at this rate in a day or two I'll be feeling fine. Weird to think I haven't eaten in 48 hours and am not even hungry, I'm still on ice chips at this point. Strangely, I figured I'd be the lightweight with a BMI of 37 but it ended up the other two patients here had bmis of 31 and 35, I'm actually the big'un.

Can anyone slide over and make a little room on the bench?

Posting after one day post-WLS. Impressive. Congrats on your successful WLS and by all means, welcome to the locker room! Post away, brother!!  Boner

Crash, Congratulations. Sounds like you are off to a Great Start. Keep it Up! Best Wishes- Dx

Plenty of room on the bench - slide on in!!!!!!!   Congratulations on the successful surgery, and keep on walking and that gas pain will be gone before you know it. Keep us updated on how you're doing, and ask all the questions you can think of....  

So far, so good, except the gas pain. I went for a half a mile walk last night, I kept burping the whole time but felt like the walking was just producing more gas, not just releasing it. Can't sleep tonight again with the gas pain so time to start walking the halls.

Other than the gas pain I feel great.

Keep on walking bud......   It's the best thing for you at this point.   As so many of the guys say right after surgery, "Walk walk walk, sip sip sip" - Water and walking are the best things for you at this stage........ On the sleeping - I slept in my recliner for about 10 days or so after surgery - found it much easier to get at least some sleep in.... Keep it up bud - you're doing great....

Much better today. I'm continuing on with the walk, walk, walk, sip, sip, sip protocol. Still feel pain after every spoonful of broth but I have a feeling that will go away after a day or two. Nothing severe enough to stop me, just annoying.
