Ah, Day 4, feeling better.

Well it is day 4 and I feel much better. Still tender and I wouldn't volunteer to do any sit-ups but I am not really in pain so to speak. Just tender and still a bit gassy. I had my first real protein this evening. I sipped down some egg drop soup. It was satisfying yet not really appetizing if that makes sense. I got more enjoyment watching my husband eat his food. I was very hungry before I ate the soup and was certain I would be able to eat a good portion of it but I only ate about 1/4 of the serving. I am surprised I got so full so fast since I don't think I have a fill yet. Is that full feeling in the beginning normal?

Yes, because due to your surgery, your stomach is swelled causing the tightness! As you heal, the swelling will go down and you will get hungrier! Then you will go in, get your first fill in and you will be restricted again, enjoy while you can!
