Right after surgery for the first week or so, while I was on liquids, I honestly thought the Dr did nothing to my stomach and I questioned if I'd ever feel restriction? The answer is YES. I can only eat a few bites and I'm really full. It's quite the difference!

How are you feeling overall, and how long has it been since your surgery? Any regrets?

I know it's weird.

I'm almost 3 weeks out. Started eating soft foods and deli meat etc... And it's night and day difference. I'm doing good. I still have a sore exit main incision and my abs are sore and have a bit of pain if I twist, but that's been the only thing uncomfortable was the incision pain. Drinking and swallowing got better each day.

If I eat too much on my spoon or too fast I get some "full" feeling at the bottom of my throat. Other than that, not bad. I've lost 18lbs since surgery Sept 10 and 65lbs total with preop.
