Thanks for all the replies and insight.  I have been going to the gym this past week but only for cardio and have noticed how much ground I've lost fitness wise and I'm definitely dealing with bouts of fatigue but I do know overall my progress is good and I'm healing well. I won't even talk about the stall!  I just figured if I could get some insight as to when and why things seem better it would help to keep me focused. And all your responses have helped. Thanks!  And keep em coming if anyone has anything else to add!

I'm a little over three months out now. There were no fireworks or unicorns at the two month mark, but as others have mentioned, I started feeling more like I was human again, and not so frail. Last week I drank a bottle of Ensure that I found floating around in my truck, and the taste gave me flashbacks to when I was fresh out of the hospital. It was not pleasant. 

So yeah, by the time you get to two months, you should start feeling less tired, and more able to eat, and life starts to get back to some semblance of normal.

You just have to be careful of which unicorns you take up with.

For me, that was around the time that all of the new habits I was trying to get to "stick" started to stick. For example, by then I could put together a quick meal portioned correctly with the macros that I needed without having to check every little stat. (I still logged!) If I was breaking one of my new habits I felt it, compared to earlier out when I would first start it felt like I was making a great choice (a novel feeling really). So in a nutshell, that is about the time my new normal set in and it was no longer the type of work where I had to think about every little thing. Additionally, I was starting to see some of the benefits of exercising like going from dying at 5 minutes on the elliptical to doing an hour and wanting more. Stemming from this I started to want to be more active (compared to my very sedentary life prior) and wanting to exercise- not just doing it because I was supposed to.
