My nose was super itchy and all I wanted was to put my bra on! Lol

Awesome! Keep up the great work :-D

I am almost in 14's! Woot woot! Yayyy to us. Sleeved 12/19 was a size 18/20

I still cannot tolerate beef. Pork chops are iffy, they can't be overcooked.

It was most definitely an alien like concept to me that I would be eating so little. I thought I would be starving and grumpy allll the time. But, alas, this was not the case at all! I love my sleeve, it, along with proper nutrition and exercise are the most amazing tools imaginable. I feel that immediately post-op the head hunger was the biggest challenge for me. But after a few emotional breakdowns, mind over matter picked up :-D yayyyy! Best wishes to you

I am a bit over four months out, I do not feel like my old self. A bit more introverted and tired sometimes, but overall good. I have noticed the energy is coming back with a vengeance. The more I workout, the better I feel.

Congratulations!! I feel the same way! I havent been thin since I was 16, before I got pregnant.... Lol, 11 years later and I am finally starting to see the hourglass again. I am so excited :-D

You look amazing! Wtg

Vicki, I appreciate you sharing your story as well! What an absolute nightmare you've faced. I hope that things continue to get better for you. Best wishes

I truly hope everything turns out just fine for you. Best wishes

Yum! Thank you for sharing :-D

Soup gets my tummy talking too! I thought it may be that I am swallowing air along with the soup. The constant gurgling has for the most part subsided though. I was sleeved 12/19/12

I built a pillow fort around me about a week after surgery :-D

Yayyy you! I dont have the guts to purge the closet all at once, but I am getting rid of things here and there. I really should take a page from your book and ditch the baggy stuff, because honestly, it looks awful... Lol. Congratulations on the nsv :-D

Oh no! Your sleeve is going to stretch and explode!! :-P

Sleeved Dec. 19 down 58 pounds!! Go December 2012 sleevers :-)

Go Fiddleman!

I am a food sniffer! It's almost as good as eating it, well that's what I tell myself. I smell everyones food- it borders on crazy but oh well. I don't think I could have a donut near me without it being someone else's though... That's just sick!! Lol

My weight ebbs and flows as well, it was consistent loss in the beginning now a bit more sporadic. But still in the downward direction, which is absolutely thrilling!! Best wishes :-D

Welcome and congratulations!

I hope everything is going well for you. I wanted to offer that head hunger isn't just the thought that you are hungry or even craving food, it can also be a physical reaction manifested by the thought. Your body is not used to not consuming food. It will take a while for your brain to catch up to your new anatomy. The gas is also very true, it bubbles so much and is loud and seems like your stomach is growling. Once your brain catches up a lot of these symptoms subside. Also, it is okay to feel hungry. Someone once said that to me and it was a light bulb moment for me. Best wishes!!

No problem!

Hmmmm, very strange.... Whats your userid?
