Hello fellow sleevers. I haven't blogged in quite some time, but I'm 3 months post-op and I've lost 45 lbs so far (Yayy)...However, lately I've been binging on just about any salty food I can get my hands on.

Consuming liquids is more difficult than I thought. I've been sipping on my protein shake for about 6 hours now. It hurts when the shake is going down. But as time goes by, I feel better and stronger. I even managed to walk on the treadmill for 5 minutes. Be well and be blessed!
