So as you see, you're not alone. I was sore and tire the first two weeks. I had a very understanding husband. I've never regretted my decision. I'm at my goal weight. Now I have to be careful not to fall off the wagon. It's a life changing decision. It can be difficult to change bad eating habits, but with the sleeve, it makes it much easier.

Small baby steps. You didn't gain.

My only fear is gaining the weight back, the other shoe. Deep breath. I'm following the program. I'm getting "some" excersize. Definitely a life style change. Not a miracle surgery. You'll be fine. Be happy you aren't having problems. I threw up every other day up until 1 month ago.

Thanks all! Sometimes I feel like I'm going through this alone, and then I found this forum.

@@CANDI254 Good luck! Let us know how things go.

Swimming would give me a reason to wear my new swimsuit too. :-)

Me too! Me too! Mine is completely gone. Thank the lord. I also don't have to go as much.

Don't give up yet. My doctors staff was wonderful. Then again, I had a lot of physical problems.

I don't know why I'm so afraid. I'm now 122. I'm 3 pounds under goal weight. I think it has to do with PT. I watch what I eat, but I do cheat occasionally. Sprite soda has been my downfall. High calories, no nutritional value.

Well, PT did say swimming would be good for my leg. I could just lather on water proof sunblock. I'll have to see how much it cost.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this fear. Not that I wish this fear on anyone.

I can kind of swim. Wouldn't win any medals. There are no inside pools around here. And doctor says if I tan scar will be more noticeable.

My fear has me to the point that I don't want to eat. Or if I eat, it's a couple of bites.

I'm having problems exercising. I just had a total knee replacement. No exercise in a month. I just reached my goal weight.

As I was saying, things are going good. BUT I have this dreadful fear. Nightmares even.

For some reason, I'm having problems with posting. Can't see what I'm typing.

Im afaid ill gain the weight back. Has anyone else had this fear? Ive hit my goal weight, now im worried.ain the weight bac . Things

lol! Take a deep breath and breath. Things will be fine.

Crossing fingers and toes!

I still go out. I can usually find something on appetizer menu: Grilled shrimp chicken wing without the sauce With a side of veggies (usually steamed broccoli Or on the regular menu: I just ask for a few changes. I've never had any problems. And I always have left overseas for next day or two. I have had waitresses ask if I didn't like the food.

My doctor says, I eat to fast, I don't chew enough, and sometimes - because I eat to fast - I eat a bite or two to much. I get stomach aches, and sometime sick. I'm 2 1/2 years out. I'm getting better about it though.

@@CANDI254 I get sick, but it's not the water. I eat to fast and don't chew enough.

NOW I remember why no liquids. You can basically wash the food away. No food. No nutrients.

You'll be glad you did it. Congratulation on the weight loss. BTW, I only sip water with meals and hardly any at all.

I didn't tell anyone but immediate family at first. BUT, if someone ask, I tell them. Makes no difference to me what they think. I did it for me, not them.
