One week post op and physically I am feeling all right, but this learning to eat thing is overwhelming. Have made a few discoveries about how this little tool can make me or break me. Absolutely cannot eat more than a bit of food at a time or feel incredible pain. The feeling of what they call "saiety" is not what I have previously recognized as fullness. I am still quite not able to recognize that I've overdone it (1 cup soup and 3 bites of super mashed potatoes is appatently too much). There is definately a learning curve. And I have NOT lost tons of weight yet! Aw well, baby steps
