22 days out 25 pounds down. This is my first post I have just been trying to focus. I am so weak no matter how much protein and water I get. I felt better earlier in my recovery than I do now.

    So glad you posted back with this update! The changes from day to day and week to week in the beginning are so huge. It drags out forever when you are living through it and then you look back and say "I can't believe that was ONLY 4 weeks ago!"
