It's been really rough! But Im doing great! Was a lot tougher recovery than i thought! I was sleeved 8/9/13 and im down 22 pounds today! Fatigue i still battle!

Right there with you. While I didn't have much in the way of pain, I found the recovery slower than I expected. Fatigue definitely plays a role - I sleep 8-10 hours every night, and I rarely did that before. But I'm just trying to focus on staying hydrated, rocking the Protein and getting lots of sleep.

Stay in touch and let me know how you're doing!
