Two months is not very long ago, @katieliz. I've found that it takes at least two months to get my strength back after major surgery. Getting the digestive system back in order will take much longer. It's a complicated process of learning how to eat in order to accommodate the changes in your digestive landscape. For each person, what we eat, how much we eat, as well as the timing of meals will be different. So you will need to find your "new normal." Keeping a food diary may help. By tracking the foods, the amount and the timing of meals might help discover the best ways to eat.
Many of the suggestions made in the post above by @nikiglen, should help you. Just remember that it will take time to adjust.
