I am two weeks post op and have am doing so much better than I thought I would. I haven't really had any problems with any foods although sometimes there is pain in my chest after I eat. The problem is that I am finding that it hasn't been long enough to lose all my old habits. I denifitely can't eat near as much as I used to, but I am still snacking between meals and am quite certain that halloween candy is not allowed! I really want to be successful and feel so guilty about this, but I think we all know what guilt leads to....so I am trying to stay calm and figure out a good balance. I have been reading tons of posts where people have been barely able to manage liquids and I was wondering if there was anyone out there like me. I know that I have to be only eating about a quarter of the food I was once eating so I am hoping I wiil still have success. Has anyone else experienced a fear that surgery will not work?
