Took me over and hour to finish it. I had the lemon flavor. It was an assault on my taste buds after clean eating for all of those weeks. Drink plenty of water afterwards. It is all worth it!

I told my sister then she became very negative. Always making comments about how the people SHE knows that did it were successful at first then gained weight back. I proceeded to thell her that my urologist wanted me to wait 6 months because of my history of kidney stones. She stopped asking and talking about it then. I have been sleeved for almost a month, have lost over 50 pounds since May and she is none the wiser. Did I lie? Yup. But I cut the negativity out. The people that you think should be the most supportive sometimes aren't. Use your best judgement.

I got it two weeks before my surgery. It was very informational. Some of the stuff was different frm what my NUT stated in the handouts, so I am following the NUT rules and guidlines but crossrefrencing the book. I also had my husband read in case he had any questions that he didn't want to ask me personally. It gave him much better insight to the whole process.

Surgery on Monday, totally out of it the first day. By Friday, it felt like I had done 1,000 crunches and my abs were paying for it. My pain was gone by week two although I still felt it when I got out of bed. My hunger seems to come and go. I figured most of it was head hunger. Once I got on a routine the hunger went away. I do have to remind myself to eat. It gets better, one day at a time.

Funny that I was just coming on the site to look into the same thing. Sleeved two weeks ago and after losing the surgery weight I was losing 2 lbs. a day. Now nothing. I have slowly introduced purees and greek yogurt over the past few days, but mainly am on shakes as they are easier. Going to the gym to do some walking tonight to see if that helps. Best of luck breaking the stall.
