Hello all!
I am 4 weeks out and I feel like I am not doing so well. I lost 26 lbs in my first two weeks but have gained a pound or two since.
I was extremely dehydrated at one point and just started drinking the correct amount of liquids.
I eat small portions of eggs, grits, cheese, or sandwich meat for Breakfast. Sometimes a mixture.
For lunch I will get a small sized plate and usually eat whatever I can get. A lot of Protein and very little of anything else.
Usually around dinner time I try to do the same as lunch, but sometimes I feel like it's just too much.
I have about 2 Snacks during the day (mostly cheese or sandwich meat).
I do not have a digital scale so I am not exactly sure HOW MUCH I am actually eating. I have just been eyeballing it on small plates. I definitely need a scale.
My biggest problem is that rarely after I eat I have a dull pain under my breast bone and I know it's from over eating. I have not had to throw up yet.... I am just super worried and need some support! I hope I am not messing this up!
