To me, this surgery is a lot like having a baby, we all get so giddy by 3 months out, that we don't think of the struggles the first 8 weeks pose. For me, it took about 8 weeks. Mind you, I went out to lunch with friends - had soup most of the time and felt somewhat "icky' after a lot of meals - mostly b/c of the carbs. It took me well over 6 weeks for figure out what me pouch liked. I had the days where I thought, man, I am going to throw up EVERY TIME I TRY CHICKEN!!! Chicken was not my friend until 16 weeks, but I still tried - like the idiot that I am!!
Four weeks out is not very much time at all. For me, it all evened out around the 5th or 6th month - that's pretty far out, but I had an ulcer and had some pain caused by that for a while. It's under control now and I am right as rain!
At 4 weeks - I still rested on my couch in my office every afternoon - Now, I don't even THINK about that!!
Keep on hanging - hopefully time will cure all that ills!!
