That's awesome that you're already down 20! I got excited to see your post because ill be sleeved the 10th and was tryin to gage the weight loss possibility by Christmas :) (I know everyone looses differently)

Does it hurt to drink the protien or just feel heavy and weird?

Wow 20 pounds already! that's great!

All of you having surgery during the holiday season are very strong! I would have probably waited til after lol
