Are you on birth control? I had to stop my birth control a month before and after surgery. I'm really hoping my cycle goes back to normal. I'm able to start my pill again tomorrow

I'm really curious to see how much weight I lost since surgery but I still feel so bloated so I don't want to get discouraged if I still have water weight from surgery. I started 264 in jan and my surgery weight was 235. I'm excited to see how the weight comes off us too [emoji4]

I started my protein shake today too and I think its helping. Yesterday I tried the clear premier protein and that didnt sit well with me blahh, so that was a set back with my liquids.
