That first month or two is tough. It gets better as you adjusts to your new tummy. You are 23 days out and lost 28 pounds. That is great. Things will get better as you learn and get to know your tummy. We are all here as well if you need us. Stay positive and you will do fine. Melissa

Lisa that sounds awesome to me. A pound a day just about sounds fabulous. What suggestions did he give you to help with the eating probs. Sue 270/?/140

That's over a pound a day which is excellent!!! That is GOOD enough for the rest of us!!! We are proud of you! Smoochies Arlies

Lisa, here's my two cents. 1/2 cup of liquid is probably too much. I would probably stick to 1/4 cup. That's what I did and I'm 6 weeks out and haven't had any trouble keeping anything down.

Lisa, I know it's hard to be patient with the weight loss. I think you are doing great! Losing it steady like that will give you a good foundation! I bet you'll see some drastic results soon! HUGS Kimberly

Hey lisa That's a pretty good rate of weight loss there. Keep it up. When I started out I found it easier to have less at each "meal" and Just more "meals." Just a thought. Best Wishes- Dx
