shane, I, too, have been experiencing the head hunger. When this rears its ugly head I get and do something to distract my mind. Typically I clean but you could also go for a walk or something that appeals to you.

Welcome Shane, I'm Shain, congrats on 31 lbs gone! Good to hear a problemless recovery also. Head hunger is something most of us deal with from time to time, especially since the majority of us are recovering food addicts & unfortunately our addiction unlike others we can't completely abstain from.

It does sound like your doing well though.

Shane, come back Shane <----- Bet you never heard that before;)

I am at a stall too' date=' I think it is going to happen. It is just our body adjusting to the new liquids or foods I think.

I was sleeved May 15th. I go for my one month follow up next week. The only problem I had was a slight allergic reaction at the incision sites from the internal sutures. Benadryl cream has worked wonders. To date I have lost 35 lbs although have not been on the scale in a little bit waiting til friday so I stick to once a week and don't get neurotic about it, lol.

I'm new to this site, so wanted to start by saying Hi to all! I had my sleeve on May 14. I started my pre-op diet in October 2011 and lost 24 pounds before surgery. SInce my surgery, I have lost another 19 pounds. I had a stall all of last week and have refused to weigh myself this week, so I'm not sure if its continuing. It has been a bit of a downer, but previous posts I've read seem to indicate that a stall at 2/3 weeks is normal, yes? Looking forward to sharing and learning a lot here!

Yea, seems normal to me. I stalled at week 3 but I also contribute that to the Cheetos I ate :s ~ welcome!!

I was sleeved on May 29^th & have lost 26lbs as of today. It’s coming off fast which is exciting BUT I am miserable and at times I really regret my decision to do this! Never thought it would be so hard mentally for me!!! I really thought I was ready and prepared…nothing I can do about it now! I did also had a very large hiatal hernia repaired which has made it even more difficult to get anything down at all! Therefore I am left with no energy and very dehydrated!

My follow up appointment it today, cannot wait to hear what he has to say.

Starting weight 05/22: 242

Today's weight 06/06: 216

I was sleeved a week ago today and am 15 lbs total loss. Still getting my head wrapped around when to eat and how much; struggling with protien and getting in 64oz Water but doing better each day.

Hi all,

I was sleeved 5-29. I had my fist post op appt today and I have lost 20 lbs since May 14th. That is when I started my liquid pre-op diet. I had actually gained some right after surgery but they told me it was all from the surgery. Excited to see where I am at for my full 2 weeks which will be next Tuesday.

[newfmom 7]

I will be two weeks out on Friday. Highest weight pre op was 229...218 day of surgery ...233 when I came home....207 this am. Talked to my nutritionist today and she said to expect to lose about 10 lbs a month. I would love to prove her wrong!
