Dennisse, congratulations on your surgery and starting your new life in the losing lane! I wanted to respond to your question, since today I am 8 weeks post op from my RNY and was just saying to a co-worker that I can actually say that I feel pretty much back to normal at this point. I'm able to eat more than in the past 8 weeks, it feels satisfying, tastes good, and the best part is I no longer get that nauseaus feeling or vomit at all. It seems that weeks 3-6 were the worst, in terms of trying out the new stomach, learning how to chew thoroughly, and actually deciding what to eat. But at 8 weeks, I feel like I'm making delicious, healthful choices, and I have learned to eat slowly and chew very well, and the bonus of not really craving carbohydrates is the best part of having this surgery. As a carbohydrate addict, it is amazing to me that one bite of a bagel with butter is about all I can handle without feeling very full. But knowing that I can have that one bite to satisfy a craving, and not go crazy eating two or three bagels at one sitting is the miracle of WLS. Good luck to you and don't worry, it does get easier.
