My stomach is a little swollen

I'm very hungry

And I'm worried that I haven't lost any weight

(only my fifth day after the surgery)

Don't panic. My weight loss didn't kick in until week 4 when I went back on solid foods. Everything you are going through us quite normal. Poke around the boards and you will find a bunch if entries just like yours. Rest up and heal. You will be just fine! :-)

That makes me a lot more calm

The number one thing is don't overeat. Start off slowly. I've had mine for over a year and I still throw up if I eat too much.

I still can't eat for another 3 weeks, but good luck with not eating too much (:

Calm down, jenniferinjodan. You are still healing. You just had major surgery. rink your liquids, walk and rest. Best wishes for a smooth and speedy recovery. Karen
