Hungry Hungry Hippo seeks Less Hungry Hippo to buddy up and um... not be hungry?

  • Popular Post

A little about me. I was sleeved on 9-6-2016. I'm no wordsmith, but I have a gigantic sense of humor that matches the size of my gigantic (but soon to be smaller) hindquarters. I am struggling with cravings and head hunger and need a friend or two to help keep me motivated and accountable. Plus I need someone to laugh at my jokes. No really. Laugh dammit!

I love people with a sense of humor and you've got it in spades. Your topic title had me in (non-surgical) stitches. ????

I am RNY and over a year out, so can't really offer first hand experience for the buddy position. But I'm definitely laughing so you're halfway there.

Something tells me you're going to excel at this. Best of luck!

I'm in. I was sleeved on 9/13. At this point my dog is looking tasty! ???? so many cravings and food thoughts aaaahhhh

OMG!!!! [emoji115]What cbonet said...not the dog [emoji23] [emoji115] [emoji486] [emoji190]

Welcome hungry hippo. I was sleeved on August 15. The good thing for me is when I eat most of the time I feel nauseated. So I think twice if eating again.

@FindingOnderland...thanks for making me laugh today. Wish I was sleeved already so we could be buddies. LMAO! Probably couldn't be buddies anyways, I would die if I lost any if my hindquarters (flat as it is). Hmmm, I think somehow my butt ended up being in the front. ????

I'm 2 weeks out. The first 5 days I didn't have much hunger. When I did water or Crystal Light tool care of it. 2nd week out it began increasing. I'm on 3 shakes (I use premier) a day. I supplement with miso broth and homemade bone broth. I also have sugar free ice pops. They were very soothing a few days after surgery and I use them now. I'm hungry but it's really not awful. If I distract myself it gets better( I need to start cleaning the house in those moments)

he's giving me stink eye

Lol! Awesome. I'm in although my sleeve is a week away I'm always in the mood for a laugh. Most of the times my laughing is at myself..smh..but if we can't laugh at ourselves what fun is it? Have a great day everyone. Ps...the dog's look is priceless! That how my sissy dog looks at me when I'm paparazzing her XD!
