Getting stronger every day!

First let me say thats to everyone who has participated in this forum.  You are a help to people you have never met and I am one of those people.  I am almost 8 weeks out and am stuck at 55 lbs.  But, I am not worried....I know that "this too shall pass".  I had a rough go of it for the weeks 2-6 post-op.  Have no hunger and no real desire to eat so I wasn't getting near enough protein.  Was a mess both mentally and physically.  Now that I realize I HAVE to eat whether I am feeling hungry or not...I am getting in more protein (at least 55-60 gm/day) and I am feeling better.  Plus, being able to take my pills whole is a huge help!!!!   I am returning to work this Momday, after off for 8 weeks and I am looking forward to it except, I do not really like all the attention I get at times...am I weird or what?  Anyway, just really wanted to say HI and claim my spot in this forum.  Will try to be more present for you as you ahve been for me!!  THANKS!!! Amanda

Welcome Amanda!  Glad you joined in!  Enjoy your final days off work, and thanks for sharing your wonderful thoughts about your surgery!!

Hi Amanda,

Everything gets easier from here on out!  This board has helped me out tons too.  Attention is good!  It gets hard when the weight loss slows down - less compliments!
