Yes, it sucks! But after the first few days it gets much better. I'm on day 8.

I hear the roar!!

congrats!!!

thanks for sharing!

I remember that feeling. Congrats!!

You've done remarkably well!!! Congrats!

My insurance required 3 month supervised program. I used that time to read everything I could on all the sleeve forums. I listened to people discuss different Protein powders/RTD and bought those that were most popular. I've copied recipes for each stage post op. I quit drinking with my meals. I find it so much harder to do when I'm at a restaurant.
The 3 months has flown by. I now feel like I have a good "arsenal" waiting for me after surgery. lol I will be sleeved next week.
Good luck on your journey! It sounds like you are making some great changes now. You will be glad you did.

what a wonderful feeling!! congrats!

Congrats, Lindsey!! My surgery is the 6th. Ready!!

For clothes you are getting rid of, keep Women's Shelters in mind. They go to the centers with the clothes on their backs and would appreciate the donations.

I play!! I have a love/hate relationship with it!

It sounds to me like he doesn't want you to tell how much you've lost because he doesn't want people knowing how "big" you were! It goes along with him being embarrassed by you! OH MY that is just so very hurtful. I'm so sorry. My first husband told me (after we were married a few weeks) that I sounded like an elephant walking across the room. I still feel that stab of pain. For awhile, I tiptoed... then I left him. I hope you can reach deep within yourself and either talk him into counseling (doubt he'll do it) or leave. Hugs to you!!! You deserve so much more.

Walk without pain!

I know how that feels!! Way to go!!

I, too, wish all brands and sizes fit the same. One brand a large is like a small. So frustrating!!
