Al,

Your doing fine. What you are feeling is totally normal. Everyone feels that way as things start getting back to normal.

Dont be afraid to ask questions, your scared and you want to know if the treatment tok hold.

Personally, I cried a lot. I am a big hairy man and around the 7 week period I started to cry like a girl for the smallest reasons. I goes away as well. Good job on the eating thing. Keep on eating as much as you can.

Saliva, I am almost 4 years out, and have a little but not much. Drink a lot of water, thats all you can do.

It took a while to gain the weight back but I did in about 6 months.

I lost 60lbs myself.

Good things my friend.
