  1. Surgery is done, now time to start losing.  How long does it take to start feeling normal.  Still in a lot of pain, but I'm glad the surgery is done.

      Congrats on your surgery! For me, the first 3 days were difficult. I day 4 I felt so much better!

      Take your pain meds, sip as much water as you are able. Are you still in the hospital or home. The advantage of the hospital is you are on an IV giving your water.

      Keep us posted and ask questions. You’re going to love it.

      @ShelbyMoore I'm at home now. I'm trying to get proteins and water in as much as possible. The weird thing is, I can't tell what full is.

      If I started reaching my limit it began to feel real uncomfortable. Plus I remember the dr telling me my stomach can only hold 4 ounces. So I measure, still do, everything to be sure it’s not more than four ounces. The week or so after surgery I was only eating 1-2 ounces at a time. I hope you are feeling a smidgen better. Be sure to rest! Don’t push yourself.
