I am down to 188. I bought jeans that are not plus size. I can see the smaller me in pictures, why do I still see the "fat" me in the mirror? I would post photos but they are all bra/panty pics and not pretty! Anyone else have this problem? My heaviest weight was 250. Was 240 before surgery. Very frustrated with myself. I feel that my progress is too slow, even though I know it isn't. I'm almost 3 months out and down 52 pounds. What is wrong with the mental me???!!!!

I still feel like every time I swallow, it gets stuck at the upper sphincter. My stomach is supposed to be able to hold three to four ounces. I measured. I can't take in more than an ounce and a half. I'm okay with that but it takes twenty minutes to get it down and at least thirty to empty.
It's really been slow progress.

My daughter and I are going to attempt a walk around the neighborhood in the morning. I am having trouble getting in enough fluids because it still hurts when I swallow, but
