Since I went through menopause, I lose weight more slowly than I used to.

Beginning of 2 week pre-op: 235 lbs Day of surgery (20 Aug): 214 lbs 3 weeks post-op (9 Sep): 206 lbs I'm so discouraged with how little I've lost since the surgery. I'm walking 2 miles every morning and every evening. I get in the required amount of Water and Protein every day. I'm still on pureed foods but I vary the foods I eat for every "meal". I'm eating about 2-3 oz every 2-3 hours but within an hour of eating, I'm extremely hungry. I wait as long as I can before I eat again. After eating or drinking, I'm plagued with heartburn. I'm getting about 500 - 600 calories every day. My body functions are regular. What can I do so I'm not SO HUNGRY? What can I do to prevent heartburn? Why am I losing so little weight? (8 lbs in 3 weeks!) Help!!!!

This is really helpful...thanks for sharing! Keep it coming! Hope your gas pain has gotten better. Did the walk to the beach help?!
