3mo checkup---lost 7 sizes and 2 pds to goal!

[nanaspez 58]

I was sleeved on Oct 30, 2012 and have lost 7 pant sizes! I went from a size 14 to a 7, but it has been a hard road. I am now just beginning to feel better. I had a swallow test and a Endoscopy done yesterday and everything looks good. I had about a month of nauseousness and a couple of weeks of vomiting. My doctor was concerned about the weightless, but after testing we decided that most likely the vomiting was from a stomach virus. To get all my Protein or Water in, it is hit and miss. I eat about ½ cup of Cream of Wheat and I am full. The first 2 months were hell for me and I just kept reading here from others to hang in there and each day will get better. I still fight for energy but my Vit B is low, hopefully with some Vit B shots I will be getting my energy back. I had a hard time believing that the day would come when I feel half way better, but it did come. So for those just starting out, HANG IN THERE, it does get better, just some have a smoother road than others.
