I'm 5'5 and I started with my weight at 240. I was sleeved on Nov 26, 2012,. My current weight is 191.My goal weight is 130. I'd love to be 120-125..... That is the weight I look best at, and what I weighed when I got married.

I had my hiatal hernia repaired as well. I had pain when drinking for the first two weeks, then it just kept getting better, til one day around 3-4 weeks I realized it was gone! Hang in there. It'll go away. If it doesn't start improving, ask Bout it.

I'm a coke addict...... Surgery didn't fix my brain ! but I can't drink any coke cause its way too sweet and carbonated to the point of pain. I wish I could drink some, but then again, it's part of what got me as heavy as I was. It's soooo hard to stop carbonated drinks! I swear, in 20!years, we'll figure out they were secretly filled with some sort of mind altering drug!

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! That's hilarious! Onemanwolfpack, I'm already feeling like the first 20 seconds of that video and I'm only3 weeks out! Good luck!

Thanks Lorraine!!

I'm glad you told me that. I was thinking I was stretching my sleeve!

My dr. Told me to only drink 1 oz. every fifteen minutes. Why? That takes forever to finish a drink. I can drink faster without pain. O get in most of my fluids of I drink this way. If I drink his way, I'm not even close! Does anyone else drink faster than that? I'm a week out, and I'm feeling pretty good. I don't over do the drinking- I CAN'T Guzzle. Small sips. Thanks for your input.

Thanks every one for all the replies. I feel better about it now.

I'm four days out from surgery and when I swallow I have this feeling like its all getting backed up in my esophagus and then it drains down into my tummy. It's uncomfortable, and I'm wondering if my hiatal hernia repair is the reason for this. Anyone else feel tender when they swallow small sips of clear liquids?

Magnesium citrate works, that's for sure . If it keeps going I'm gonna need first aid on my bum! Did anyone else have to drink a bottle? Geez this is awful! I'm on fire over here!

I got approved end of October and was scheduled about a week after that. My surgery was for end of November.

My surgery is tomorrow as well. Looking forward to it being over. Kinda freaking out!
