Well, I met with my surgeon and got the final total to date...29 lbs in 4 weeks! I'm feeling pretty good about it, but I've been warned that it will slow down. I'm okay with that however. Besides that, I'm in tip-top shape. Oh, by the way, I had posted earlier about this intense pain I was having in my chest and my doc confirmed what everyone had said--I am eating too fast. So, I know what I need to work on. Anyway, just wanted to tell everyone to keep your head up! We will get through!!!

Congratulations on your weight loss. Way to go! It's hard to learn to slow down eating. I'm a gulper, so I've had to resort to a "sipper cup" you know like Tupperware has for toddlers? It has helped so much because I you can't take a big swig. It's almost frustrating to have to slow down that much. Huggggs, Heidi

I've been told about baby spoons as well to help the eating portions, but the toddler cups are a GREAT idea--I do LOVE to drink way too fast. I'm definitely going to give that a try. Thanks again for your help and support! I really appreciate it!
