Hi everyone who is having surgery in October 2014. We can start a new topic for those of us who have had surgery already.

This is the spot were we will all end up, were we'll share our stories and recovery. It will be a new dawn for so many of us. Let's stay close as united we will conquer anything that comes our way!

BEST WISHES GLADIATORS

Going home today. Waiting on the orders to be released. My ride is here

Whoohoo Smiley!! How are you feeling?

Stomach sore, tender, tired not hungry one bit even watching cooking shows. Tomorrow I can start stage two dieta

Sorry you're so sore. Hope that improves quickly! I can't wait to not have that hunger.

Is anyone else still struggling with "fullness"?

I'm trying to be really careful not to over fill my pouch, but it's hard to know what full feels like. I definitely err on the side of not full rather than painfully full, so I'm not even sure what full feels like! There's no more hungry vs not hungry signals to help me differentiate.

How do you guys do it?

I'm asking because sometimes I feel like I can drink more Water than I should, so I have to concentrate on not over doing it.

My NUT said to measure your food in a 1/2 cup and don't go over it no matter what for at least a month. You do not want to bust your pouch. Sadly, it does happen. I'm sure at this point you probably can't even eat 1/2 cup but think of it as the ceiling.

I agree with Beni, I just has my first "meal" since surgery, it was 1/2C of cottage cheese and I still didn't eat all of it. That was an experience, one I probably won't ever forget.

AuriP You did it. I must be amazing to eat less then a 1/2 cup of food and be done. I can't even begin to imagine what's like.

Not only will you be imagining it you'll be doing it soon enough.

That 1/2 cup is a good idea! I just ate a pudding cup over the space of 30 minutes and I was afraid it was too much.
