Congrats!! You'll be there before you know it.

You are doing great. It always cheers me up to see one of my sleeve bandits doing so well. Keep up the great work. I hate the stalls too, and seem to have them periodically. Hope all is great your way. :001_tongue:

I was warned before I had surgery that hiccups when full is one of the side effects of this surgery. Does anyone else do this? Does it ever go away? The minute my tummy gets full...I do one or two loud hiccups. It's a bit embarassing. :confused1:
