Finally starting to see the weight come off!!!!

Had my 1 week post surgery check up today and after a scheduling mixup and waiting almost 2 hrs he calmed all my fears and freak outs. He cleared my to go back to the gym and move onto the purée stage (I'm supper excited for this!!!). He said just do as much as your body will tolerate. Listen to your body and your new smaller stomach. Thank you to everyone on here for all your words of encouragement. I think it's so awesome that we all can connect and ask questions and say our fears and share our ups and downs. Have a great day everyone!!

Oh thank god!!! I thought I was the only one that has hiccups. Lol! My first set though was the first night after the surgery. And oh my goodness did they hurt!! The nurse didn't know what to do to stop them. Now I get them less and less

I just wanted to share my excitement with everyone because today (a couple days shy of 4 months post-op) I REACHED ONE-DERLAND!
Starting weight: 296
Date of Surgery: November 19, 2012
TODAYS WEIGHT- 199!!!!!!!!!! ONE-DERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Simone21943. I got sleeved march 4. It was very difficult to stop drinking while eating because yes it is very ingrained into us. But before I was sleeved I tried many things to for example: I would not even put a Water glass out for myself at meals. If something was "dry" I would chew it the appropriate amount of times but also put something, just a little something, like mashed sweet potato with it to help it go down. After the sleeve I'm not finding it difficult at all because you get full so fast you don't have enough room for water.

When we took our vows, we committed to be there for each other for richer or poorer... To be there for better or worse.... I know that this must be very trying for you and we don't know what you have been thru. Do you still love him? Maybe things will be brighter tomorrow. Marriage takes work! My husband can definitely test me but I love him dearly and don't know what I would do without him. Best of luck to you as you work to get thru this bump on the road of life!
