Went for my one week today and I feel like my surgeon laid into me. He says I'm drinking waaay to fast and too much in a short amount of time. We'll I'm HUNGRY....I guess that's why I doing it? I drank a PP shake in less than an hour and he was NOT happy. On a good note he says he believes in me. Also feeling a little down because he mentioned that he was lenient with doing the surgery for me so it makes me feel like I was a charity case for him. I wanted to deserve to get this new lease on life. All in all I guess since he said he believes in me and performed the surgery because of that I should be not so down on myself. I think I'm just hungry and ready to be on phase 2 and back to work. I am down from 288.4 to 279.0 :-)

Weird that he'd be upset about the drinking. Maybe he's worried that it will turn into eating too fast?

From what he explained he is concerned that drinking to fast could cause leaks.

Strange! That goes counter to everything I've read or experienced.

It's a bummer because I thought the fact I could drink faster and felt good meant I was tolerating liquids very well and when I move to phase 2 Tuesday 9/12 it would go smoothly but he checked me back into place. So feeling discouraged and slowing the pace.
