Blah' date=' has anyone felt full and bloated for HOURS after eating? I'm worried something is stuck but Water is going down. I don't know. What do we do for that?[/quote']

There are some times that I do feel full and bloated after eating... Usually when I feel like that I use my incentive spirometer that they have me for clearing my lungs and that helps me feel better. I don't know how bad it is for you and if this would work.. But that is what works for me.

I've almost lost all the extra weight I put on in the hospital--it was about 8 pounds. It's not as exciting to lose those pounds. It feels like they don't count.

I say every pound counts!!! That keeps me positive! Losing is losing!

Has anyone else had issues with sleeping? Ever since surgery I'm waking up in the middle of the night.

I wake up several times in the middle of the night. I usually get out of bed and go to the bathroom at that point! LOL! I miss sleeping all through the night!
