I had surgery on 9/10/12.  I was home after surgery for 2 weeks, and honestly felt like I was having triplets.  My stomach was so far out from the gas, it was amazing.  It took 3 weeks before I could "feel" like I was losing weight, and 3 weeks before I could wear pants that had to button / zip.  On Monday last week, I decided to start wearing my "work" clothes again to work (had been wearing the same elastic pants for a week, because the incisions were still tender).  I grabbed a pair that were kind of tight before surgery thinking "Well they should fit now" and put them on.  They fell off.  I mean FELL OFF.  I was laughing so hard my daughter ran in the room and said "I'm so proud of you mommy"...I don't know what felt better.  As much as I miss "food" and by that I mean sitting down and eating a big meal, this is soooo much better.  My husband last night said he couldn't believe I haven't complained once about what I have to eat and how much.  The truth is, I don't miss the bad foods, what I miss is being able to eat more than 5 bites of something.  Its like as soon as you start to enjoy the taste, your done..lol  Its all mind games.

Great NSV! and don't worry about the only 5 bites of food, you will eventually get to eat more.

 As far as the five bites thing, savor the food in your mouth for longer before you swallow.

Congrats on the NSV!
