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!

Just an update on Cooper-he's still in tact. I settled for yet another protein shake .

good. I was getting worried. Was trying to add up in my head how many calories/carbs he would be.

Well, not food or dog related because I was just sleeved yesterday, but the surgeon, my husband I were joking about what we could tell people. The surgeon was all, "Come up with something ridiculous! OMG - I don't have any idea how I lost all this weight! I just started bathing in egg whites everyday and, bam!" Followed by a discussion of whether you could start a run on egg whites and would a legion of cranky plumbers come after

Option 2 was a rare tropical paradise. "Yes," I replied, "maybe I picked it up when I lived in Micronesia a million years ago. The lack of sun in Seattle finally killed it off, and all the weight it brought died off, too."

Not hilarious, but it lightened things up before surgery. No dogs in my house, but my cats are Siberians - even if I could get past the metric ton of fur, they have awfully big teeth and claws. OTOH, they are jumpers and have giant thighs like a rabbit. I often wonder how the breed made it through those cold Russian winters. Was cat thigh Soup a thing?

I was sleeved in May. I mixed a teaspoon of baby rice Cereal into my Protein shake to "thicken" it up a tiny bit. Definitely helped with fullness.

Your cars are beautiful. Tell people you had a tapeworm. [emoji218] [emoji4]

Ayah - I meant to say "parasite" instead of "paradise". Drugged up posts... I just thought it was hilarious the surgeon was coming up with such ridiculous stories. I explained I'd only told my kids (13/16) about the hernia repair part of the surgery because I hadn't wanted them to worry too much. The 13 year old loves medicine and I was all, "Hey - want to see my cool scars? Go fetch my Water..." The 16 year old has an anxiety disorder, so it's more like, "Hurry up with those dishes or I'll show you my horrifying scars!"

And yup, those are my cats wearing their best, "You look tasty," look. They keep coming to see me and walk around on my belly to make sure I'm okay They're helpful like that.

Hope you're feeling better. Animals definitely know when we're not ok. Cooper wouldn't eat while I was in the hospital and when I came home he was literally glued to my side for days.

I am was sleeves on 10/3/16 and I am getting hungry too. When this happens intake a walk around the block or take a small bite of cottage cheese.
