Does your hunger increase when 'Aunt Flow' comes to town for her monthly visit? I feel SO hungry right now

This is one thing that I am struggling with the most! Will I ever get used to it? I try not do drink but then I am just so thirsty I resort to sipping a bit, and I end up paying dearly for it. When will I learn

I have heard that too and mine is getting mushier and mushier....I hope it means big losses are coming my way!

Hahaha....he does....but I'm pigheaded and do it anyway. I'm sure he finds a bit of pleasure in my tummy ache afterwards lol.

Congratulations! Best of luck to you both! I still can't believe I actually had it done. I LOVE it!

LOL you ladies are funny! Thanks for all of the replies....it really helps!

So funny! lol

I am SO excited! I took my vanilla Protein shake, added almost a full scoop of Nestle's unsweetened cocoa, milk and 1/4 of a banana. It's SO good! It's probably a staple in these parts and been posted again and again, so if so I apologize, but this is great!

I LOVE you people! Of course I'm 'emotional' right now, so I might just really 'like' you

I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear this! Not for your sake of course, but I thought for sure maybe I had done something to stretch my tummy out and now my new curse will be hunger for a lifetime! Thank you ladies for giving me hope that this will pass

I don't have a problem at all with Water. I can drink that much in a matter of minutes I would say.

I am EXACTLY the same way....down to the sneezing! What is that all about?! lol. I will have to try Cashews.

Too thick! I have been trying to get mine down for the past hour and just had to Water it down a tad bit. But it's still SO good!

Sleeved 6/26/13 SW-230 CW-204 5'5"

I told my parents 'after' the surgery

That's so awesome! Totally made me smile!

I just took my 'before' photos and HOOOOLY CR AP! If I weren't going into surgery in 3 days I'm pretty sure I would have smashed the camera (which is very expensive) and used the strap to hang myself from the nearest light fixture. Then again, I doubt the light fixture would hold me! Wow, wow, wow. If I wasn't sure before, I AM NOW! No wonder I have avoided the camera for the last few years! (funny thing is my fiance and I are both photographers) It's a lot easier being on the back side of the camera. Which is exactly where I will stay until I loose at least 50 lbs. Goodness sakes. SMH.

I am 6 days post-op and feeling pretty good. But the more I read the more it amazes me how badly people want to get back to old habits. The questions of 'when can I eat this again', and 'when can I have that' seem to be posted by the hundreds. I have to say I am in NO hurry to eat again. I don't want to visit 'Starbucks' or my local 'bar' as that is partially what put me in this position. Please don't take this the wrong way, I know some of you are just trying to get a feel for what is to come and when you can start doing some things. I just want to reiterate that this surgery is a tool and changes are desperately needed to be successful! Now is the perfect time to make those changes. Bring on the broth!

Jesus, drop the hostility...re-read it, I never said that the sleeve has changed me completely, nor am I stupid enough to think it cures me or anyone else. Not sure why you seem so pissed, but there is NO need for that!

Mine began after I had completed my second week post op. Now approaching my 1 month mark and STILL in a stall! It's just starting to piss me off now. As far as getting past it, did most of you change what you were doing, or just ride it out?

It happened! It happened! The scale moved 2.5 lbs lost!!! OMG there IS hope you guys! I thought for sure I was stuck at 21 lbs and had been for almost 2 weeks! Keep at it! Don't give up! I am SO excited! If it happened for me, it WILL happen for you! I was laying in bed this morning (Admin Secretary for a k-8 school, so still on vacation) reading your posts and dreading getting up and getting on the scale. But after hitting the restroom (because I must be completely void of every ounce before I weigh) I reluctantly climbed on. And I was shocked! Hang in there ladies, your time is near!

Hahahahaha! I think the exact same thing! I feel like I will never lose another pound and I did all of this for 21lbs?! So not worth it! lol When was your surgery? Mine was June 26th and at exactly my 2 week mark I stopped losing. It has been 11 days for me

I am pretty sure my calories are too low. I get in my fluids without any problem, and I rarely have anything with carbs. I am not quite at the level of protein I should be at though.
