Could hard stools ruin sleeve?
No poop comes from your intestines not your stomach but you might want to try some laxatives so you dont have to strain soo hard.

Relationships After Surgery
Your not being fair to your wife! She didnt get the tool that you did. Show her some respect and treat her kindly. If she wants the surgery help her thru it. If she doesnt love her! She loved you when you were bigger!!!

Cruise trip 8 weeks post op - good idea or bad?
I went on a caribean cruise at 6 weeks out! I had a blast! The waiters all thought I didnt like the food because I could only eat a little but it was all soo good. My advice is to make sure you take a Water bottle to get all of your water in and eat the Protein foods first. You will have fun. I actually lost 3 pounds!

Post-op Body Building
I just had my 7 week check up and the doctor took all restrictions off of me. I think you will be fine just listen to your body if it hurts stop. I cant even imagine doing 200 sit ups but thats just me if you can do it go for it.

How do u know ur hungry?
At this early I didnt feel hunger I just tried to get all of my Protein in. Later you will get an empty feeling. I usually just try to eat every 3 to 4 hours just to keep my blood sugar levels up. The beauty of the surgery is that it takes most of that hungry feeling away.

Very slow weight loss at 5 mths - what am I doing wrong?
Im a slow loser too but you need to look at it different. I look at it like hey Im not gaining weight! Plus I figure in 6 months it will all average out. They may lose faster at first but it will slow down. Plus because we are losing slower our skin has the time to shrink back so we wont have all that saggy skin. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE EVERYTIME! Plus stressing out makes your body hold onto the weight. Dont know why but it does. Relax and enjoy the ride!!

Partner.
I understand how you feel completely! My husband and I have been married 25 years and most of our celebrations and date nights have revolved around food. We have decided that we are going to do new things like try out new hiking trails, go to the beach and walk the pier, walk some of the awesome bridges that we have here in florida! All that eating out wasnt doing either of us very good. It really is all about being together and celebrating each other. Dont focus on the lack of food think about all the other things that you will be able to discover and the long healthy life that you will now have!!

Hey stop beating yourself up!! There are enough people in the world that will do that for you!! You have to be your own best friend! Your own cheerleader! Change your self talk! Think about all of life challenges that you have accomplished. Weight is just 1 part of you it does not define ALL of you!!! You deserve to everything you want in life!! GO OUT AND GET IT and dont let anything stop you! You have made a great decision for yourself already and you just need to work it! YOU GOT THIS!!!

Not losing weight after surgery...help
They pumped your full of fluids during your surgery. Dont get on the scale until the 11th thats why he scheduled it out that far so your body will have had time to adjust and get rid of all of the water weight. Trust me you will lose weight! U got this!!
