@Feelinghopefulnow, I'm now 4 days shy of 4 weeks out of surgery. The first 3 days were bad but after that it's been pretty smooth sailing. No pain at all, like nothing's different really. Except I can't eat as much. I lost 15lbs straight away and was so impressed because I have never been able to lose weight. But then I stalled and and around 17 lbs lost now. The weight loss has been veeeery slow the last 2 weeks. But from what I 've read on this site it happens a lot so I'll have to be patient. I never have any problems eating though. I just stop when I think I've had enough. I guess around a cup worth of food at a time and I'm eating around 1000 calories a day.
I hope the weight starts coming off again soon though. It's a little discouraging.
