confused about portons

[Livinglifeout 217]

I just feel like it is slow...It is very hard for me to get fluids in at work..I try to take a drink here and there inbetween patients but its very hard when you are told not to drink 30 min before or after eating. I am also still very tender where they removed the stomach especially in the mornings...is this normal?

Yes it is normal to be a little sore for awhile. I just hit six months out and only for the last month have I been getting all my liquids. Just keep trying, it will come. Also I ate Tilapia for dinner and was full on 3.5 ounces:)

I have only lost 8 since the surgery ...30 in total...I do count total weight loss from the start of the liquid prep lol but im staying away from high fat foods and keeping it as sugar free as possible. Will it speed up?

We all lose at our own pace. I take longer to lose weight than some. It could be that they are younger , bigger, etc dont compare yourself it will drive you crazy! I know because I did that in the beginning.

But drink the Water it really helps dropped the weight!!

Ok so I weighed this morning and I actually went up a pound. Yesterday made four weeks post op was at 30lbs now at 29lbs...getting discouraged. Not exercising as I have pain at site and work just wears me out. Not getting all my Water in ..no nausea or vomiting am able to eat and keep things down ok ...is this normal? Any suggestions???
