Definitely the best thing you can do is check with your doctor's office. It's far better to hear them say "that's perfectly normal" rather than "why didn't you call us earlier?"

Keep hydrated -- even if it's just clear liquids. My surgeon told me the leading cause of readmission following WLS is dehydration. Get as much protein as you can -- your body needs it to heal.

Let us know what your doctor says tomorrow and how you're doing.

Rich gave very sound advice. Remember you may feel nausea for up to two weeks (maybe longer) because of the anesthesia.

Check with you Doctor, and then let us know what they said. This information may be beneficial to another newbie.
Good Luck on your Journey !!
