Hi I am new to the site and 3 weeks post op. My highest weight was 245. I was 235 pre-op and have lost 19lbs. so far. I just need some encouragement as I start this journey. I already feel like I'm failing but am pushing to stay motivated. Hi Everyone!!!

Hello and welcome!  You are not alone in your feelings.  I didn't feel like I was doing things right until about 6 weeks post op.  I would either get most of my water, or get most of my protein, but never both together.... until about 6 weeks post op.  Then it wasn't every day, but eventually it started to happen.  Just keep trying every day, making protein and fluids your primary goal. :)  This thread is very friendly and knowledgeable!  They will answer any questions and give great advice! :)

Good luck on your journey and you have done great so far!!

sounds like you are doing super.  It is hard in the beginning, everything from eating to what is right, when, how much, will I ever feel normal again, what the heck did I do to myself?

stick around.  Ask questions.  read.  work on following your plan, getting your fluid and protein in, take your vits and mins and you will be fine. 

Looking forward to hearing more about your journey!!!
