Today is the 6 week mark and I must say I am really doing well. I know that some people it seems have been having problems with their healing, but I must be one of the lucky ones. Yesterday I was able to eat a piece of steak and a potato, chewed completely and took my time, then topped it off with a hot fudge sundae. All without any pain!! Not that I would eat steak all the time but it was nice for a change. Still not going to try bread for a while. Don't want to tempt fate!! My advice to anyone after surgery is just take it slow. I didn't in the beginning but then stepped back and took it very slow, glad I did. I also listened to all the good advice given on this board from others who have had the surgery before me. It does get better, you just need patience and listen to your body.

Thanks everyone, now I know that my vacation next week won't be so bad. Still going to be extremely careful what I eat but it will be all good!!

Dp61,

Glad you're doing well! This has been my experience as well. When my appetite started to come back from the surgery, I started to eat fast and felt full and bloated rather quickly. I told myself 'slow down!' Glad I did, its made a HUGE difference in my recovery.

Best of luck moving forward.
