Travis, I've been walking since about 4 hours after surgery and the doctor told me to keep walking steadily increasing pace and distance. I think you'd feel MUCH better if you walked. I know it makes me feel better.

I felt pretty weak for the first month. But it will go away and you should try to walk a little bit everyday. You also need to make sure you are sipping all day and eating/liquid food what you can through out the day to keep your strength up. You body is adjusting to the amount of food and lower sugar. I walked a little bit and then 6 weeks I was given the clearance to go to the gym. Good luck and take it easy.

Just so you know this early out you just have to sip all day and drink and eat what you can... You WON'T reach the ounces you need yet till tummy or pouch heals and the swelling recedes... Take it easy and go slow it will come :)
