Walk. Drink water and protein shakes. Walk some more. Then drink more water. Then walk yet again

repeat!

Like Scott the big things are getting in your fluids and walking. I could only walk for 3-5 minutes at a time, but I did it multiple times a day. It really helped. Also make sure that you get in your fluids and protein shakes.

Glad to here that things are good, though.

Congratulations; that's great news!

Like Scott said, walk, drink, repeat. I couldn't walk very far at first, just up and down the hall.

I had a lot of pain so watched a LOT of Netflix in order to distract myself early out.

As someone with a lot more time post op than you (well, 24 hours)....I can tell you that going back to work has helped a lot--it keeps my mind engaged; but I am taking lots of walks and like everyone else, focusing on getting all of tha****er in me!

I had my RNY on a Wednesday and was back in the office Monday after my Dr. appt. It helped a lot, kept me distracted, kept me on track...
