Hang in there. It gets better. I am a true witness!!!! I didn't begin to feel "normal" until about month 2. Each day is better, then you have a not so good day, then it continues to get better...but by about month 2 I was no longer feeling "blah". And once I went back to work and was able to get in the three meals I was supposed to since I was back on a routine I felt even BETTER!!! Just take it one day at at time, don't rush it and let your recovery be your recovery. Don't compare yourself to others - which is very easy to do on this site. LOL. Once I let go of determining "where I should be by this time in recovery" to others I did a lot better. Good luck with things. I will tell you I am sooo blessed and happy to have been able to have this surgery. It has made such a difference in the quality fo my life I can't believe it.

How are all my tidewater people doing?? I'm about to be 4 months out and still feel like I can't eat a lot. I can't eat a whole plate of food. But I can snack on goldfish. So I have to tell myself "if u can eat goldfish then u can eat this chicken!" I ate oatmeal for the first time tonight. Unflavored Unjury is my protein savior right now!!! Surgery: 6/5/2013

I think I can drink 8 oz in way less time. I. Don't think I am stretching anything bc my eating is still very limited at meal time. Surgery: 6/5/2013

I'm 2 months too! Did u go thru Chesapeake Regional? How r u doing? Surgery: 6/5/2013

Where did u get the bento-type lunch box? I ordered the actual bento one off amazon but would like a second one so I don't have to wash that one EVERY night to use the next day. LOL. Surgery: 6/5/2013

LOL. I can see that in him a little. I like him too. I I don't feel the other members of the team prepared me to go home and eat and be successful. That part of the program needs a lot of work. He's at Chesapeake Regional now. My weight loss is slow right now but I know it's bc I'm not getting the Protein in. I am working on it now though and getting better. Congratulations on seeking help and using ur experience to help others. That takes a pretty strong person! :-) And thanks for offering to talk if I need to. I'm sure I will. I had a couple rough Patches weeks ago but now that I have a better variety of food I can eat I'm doing MUCH better. I just need to really start working out. I haven't done that yet like I should. Just in spurts. Surgery: 6/5/2013
