@catherine55 Only 7 weeks out, yes...the feeling of being paralyzed is normal and I felt that way for several months. Almost hard to believe. Two steps forward and one back, likely that's now or even one forward and two back. In time, all that will improve. Again, time. For the first four months, I lost 35 pounds and just wanted to get from one day to another. Then eventually one week to the next. Things will improve slowly. Take care of yourself.
