When I started my journey I was 352.
When I started my diet I was 338
DOS-308
2 3/4 months out-239.
Getting close to my goal of 212. Just a little nervous that I won't stop losing there.

Just drink your Water... even this first week or two, the Protein isn't as important as the Water. Which Protein drinks are you using? If you can't stand them right now, try another one. Premier Protein is a popular one (the ready to drink variety). Just keep sipping your water though so you don't need those IV bags. If you can keep that down, consider it a victory - for now.
I am only 11.5 weeks out, and I am doing mostly great. I can't eat what others can eat though, and while this is hard for me, I'm finding ways to deal with it, as you need to.
Find the Protein Drink you can handle, get your rest, and try to walk as much as you can... it really does help with recovery. You still have the anesthesia running through your body. This also takes time to go away.
Hang in there! It'll all be OK in a few weeks!

That's how I was in the beginning too. I felt pretty horrible for the first two weeks or so, and then it took months after that for me to feel anything resembling normal. Now I'm nearly a year out and down 170 pounds, healthy as can be, and happy! Just remember why you did this in the first place, and hold on to that. It gets so much easier very soon. No one said this process would be easy. But seriously, hang in there. If you need someone to talk to, my inbox is always open. <3
