krenee, you can send a friend request to Sharon Ivanauskas and ask to be added to the May sleevers group.

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.

CONGRATULATIONS jelli84!!!

1 WEEK UPDATE - I was sleeved 5/31/12 and am 13 lbs down! I feel good with this loss; especially since I am only 4'11.

OTRsleever is correct, stalls are normal. Are you on a post-op diet?

CONGRATULATIONS peace1127!

Glad you found us CantWait2Lose77. Wow! You are doing fabulous!

I am now beginning my 3rd day post-op and realize the importance of getting in the fluids. I was up several times throughout the night with headaches. Drank water and it went away.

I just squeezed into the May sleevers group. I had surgery on May 30, 2012 so not much has changed. I love reading everyone's stories though as it is encouraging.

Tinap & GivingItMyAll I was just sleeved on May 30, 2012. As many have shared, the surgery went smoothly and it has been virtually pain free thus far. Came home today from the hospital and other than fatigue I've been fine.

It'll be here before you know it.

oops georgia728 I failed to say I hope your surgery went well too.

shangefan & chicagochic I hope your surgery went as smoothly as mine did. Welcome to the other side.

Have you tried making your shakes? Using water instead of milk?

YEAH! A sleeve buddy. I, too, am scheduled for tomorrow. Here's to success.

For what it's worth I use Bariatric Fusion chew-able vitamins. They were designed for patients that have undergone weight loss surgery. You can buy them on-line.

I am unaware of Atkins flavors but EAS advantage shakes has a strawberry flavor that I think tastes good. You can buy it at Wal-Mart.

Great to hear. I am scheduled for surgery in the morning and hope I feel as well afterward. Wishing you many success in the days ahead.

Congratulations to the both of you. I'm sure having the support of one another & understanding what the other is experiencing makes a difference. Keep us posted on your progress. And to you lady lisa as well. Has your husbands experience helped in ways other than sharing a plate?

Wow! 20 pounds in 20 days sounds great! You are doing well.
