I am about 8 weeks post surgery. Does eating get easier?

    yea it does

    but you need to be careful not to over eat. Rmember you have a reduced stomach now - although you may crave to eat more, do not. Be careful and listen to your body always

    yes it does get easier. if you do over eat you might experience back or spinal pressure or pain.

    It gets easier over time. You have to discipline yourself to not overeat. Small snacks all day is better and of course do not eat several hours before going to bed. You will learn what foods you tolerate more than others. I find its a long learning experience. please reach out if you want to talk further. I call my life now, "The new normal"
