Thank you guys for your support and words of encouragement. It is so helpful.

I am struggling too my darling. I am an emotional rollercoaster, worried about everything.. what I'm eating.. what I'm drinking.. what if I do this, what if I dont do that.. blah blah. I'm only down 15lbs in 3 weeks and I wanted faster results. I just bought some premeir protein shakes from sams club. they are 30g of protein in one small tasty shake. 2 of those and I have just about met my protein goals. I am hoping this speeds things up for me. I still have some pain but its going away slowly. I get frustrated, I get overwhelmed, I get regrettful.. Its part of the journey and I have to believe that it will get better and it actually is day by day. If you ever need someone to talk to.. message me and I will be there for you at the drop of a hat. I understand what you are going through and I am going through the same thing. hugs!

Awesome!!

Thank you so much for that. It has been really difficult. Sometimes I feel so defeated. I want to do this right. I've lost. Just 22 pounds after all of the weeks of liquid and soft diets. I've been walking everyday and it is working so far. I can't wait for 8 weeks! Ugh!

youre welcome. I know how it feels to read the forums where people just seem to breeze right through the surgery like its kittens and rainbows but for some of us, it is really hard.

Congratulations!! Keep up the good work!!

Thank you and u do the same

Congratulations!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for your encouraging words. I really appreciate your support. Be blessed everyone

Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone else is having acid reflux/heartburn since having surgery? I did not experience this until after having the surgery. Anyone have any advice, I'm living on Prevacid AC now

I've had a touch of heartburn but I drink water or milk to soothe it.

I was sleeved on sept 6. My starting weight was 360 and I was 335 the day of surgery. I am 320 today. My clothes fit better and I feel better, but I am wondering if I am losing weight quickly enough. I thought it would come off a little faster than it is. Is anyone else having the same problem? How is everyone else dealing with this? Any advice would be great.
