Hi,

Let me tell you right up front---my experience was miserable! I also

lost a lot of weight, 12lbs, and I am thin too to begin with. I did

lose my rear though, and I love jeans more and more!! I was wired

for 7 weeks, with two children, 4 and 2 1/2, and It was hard!!! My

worst day was just where you are it was 8 days post op. I could not

get anything through (the next day I bought a water pik), and I was

so weak, I could not even shower! I was miserable, and no one

understood why I was so bad. I wanted to go back in the hospital

and go on IV and the doctor said that was ridiculous for a grown

woman.

I did not drink the protein shakes, I could not handle it. I did

drink vitamins though that were from the UK. A friend of mine went

there and I asked to bring some home, it was a tablet that dissolved

in water, and it tasted so good. so, I drank that every morning,

soup in the afternoon, and a milkshake for dinner. eating was too

much of a chore for me, so I did very little of it.

Please know that this is tough, I am still having a hard time and I

am 12 weeks post. I can't stand that my lips are not back yet, my

teeth are tender, and my upper gums are still numb. It is hard to

kiss my hubby, and I just have to say, soon, it will be back.

I hope I helped you knowing you are not alone.
