  13. Sound like you r doing great but remember we are suppose to drink with are meal. It make the food not stay in the pouch, And this is how we lose weight by keeping the food in the pouch atleast 3 to 4 hours and also they said my doc we can expect to lose 1 to 2 pound a week some people1/2pound. I wish you the best of and the weight lost so far is outstanding
  14. I don''t think you are suppose to drink with your meal!! It move the food thur the pouch which cause you to get hungry. But hey you are doing great. They say we will lose 1 to 2 pounds a week some people only lose 1/2pound. You could be losing inches Good luck to you
