Your doing it the right way!I had my surgery may 9th in april my weight was 369.Today it's 278 before anyone says great job it has taken a toll on my health! Im on potassium and go for blood work tuesday if it's no better i get a stay in the hospital.It's not that i dont want to eat, it's after a half cup i get sick..Dr says it's a mental thing..What i've started to do is eat 6 times a day that gets me up to 800-1000 calories a day.The good thing is my blood pressure has not been this good since my 20's and i feel a whole lot better.While there have been set backs i'd have the surgery again!
