I would like to hear more about this also. I just had my 4 month anniversary and nothing I eat really tastes the same it is so strange.

Congrats.... I can hardly wait until I hit 100 lbs. I was sleeved February 27 and have lost 60 lbs.

I am in the same boat....sleeved Feb. 27 and have lost 45 lbs. but I have been stalled for about ten days . I am exercising 40 minutes a day and attempt to make it to the gym 5 days a week. What is the deal?????

I have also experienced this also. I am 8 weeks and haven't had anything that I can say tasted good . I also grilled a lean hamburger patty last week and looked so forward to it but it was also just bland. I wonder why this happens.

Awesome going to have to try that.

Just wondering why are you told not to eat ice cream?

Yes I am experiencing the same issue. As you said I have tried several things and nothing taste as it did before. My husband laughed today and said the doctor must have done something. I thought I was the only one so glad to hear you also are having the same issues. I was sleeved February 27. Looking forward to hearing someone has an answer for us.

Dear February Sleevers: I am 2 weeks out from surgery and everything tastes so sweet. I am still on liquids for 4 more days. I eat Chobani yogart to help with Protein amount then Injury chocolate for another 30 grams of protein. Suppose to get in 70 grams but still only able to get in 60 grams a day. Have tried cream Soups to get away from the sweet but they don't taste good. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think they may have also done something with my taster while in surgery.....lololololol

So glad that you stuck to your guns. We know how own bodies better than anyone. I have two swollen areas on my left arm where my IV was and I had surgery on Feb 27. Went to family doctor and she did an ultrasound and found blood clots. Going to have to give myself 2 injections of Lovenox a day. They also gave me Cumiden. Just shows we are all so different you just never know but I was also glad I went to the doctor.

So sorry to hear that Fred has passed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during a very difficult time. Also, to you NikkiV1986.

I thought long and hard before buying my Vitamix and also did alot of research. My thought was after people go to buy their second blender or mixer I will still have my awesome VITAMIX? Plus it cleans it self LOLOL

Me either.....I hear all these people doing so much and I walk to the end of the block and don't think I will make it back. I was sleeved Feb. 28th. I get 2 protein drinks down a day and I thinknI am going to die I am so full.

So sorry to hear. Praying all goes very well for you.

Very well said moregoodtimes. And by the way Karen353 some has to do with age and some is your own tolerance to the surgery. I am 57 and truthfully therevwill be a couple of kind of rough days but I thinkmwe all knew that going into this. Good luck on this new adventure we have all begin in our lives.

They gave me Zofran. I am not recommending it I just know I had a terrible reaction to either the amount of Loratab or the kind of Loratab and I was very nauseous. Good luck because that is such an awful feeling when you have this surgery.

That is terrible. However, at some point not to long ago I would have been saying oh I have to have some. LOL It is terrible how many commercials on tv are for food. I guess I never watch that much tv like I have since being off for my surgery. It makes me want to record everything and then fast forward it so I won't have to sit her and watch it. Anyone else feel that way?

Kelly my nut said to use applesauce whichI have been doing with 1/2 tsp . I am not saying do that just a suggestion to ask your doctor.

Thanks Shezlynn think I will check there, however, the bouillion isnt bad so just sip sip siping.....

I must agree with you. I received my sleeve on Wednesday. Started to doubt I had done the right thing on my birthdat on Thursday but by 10 pm signs of life had returned. You are so correct about nothing tasting very good as it all seems to taste so sweet. Slept well last night but I am also not on any pain meds. Very concerned at this point about getting something down for nourishment. Any good ideas? Or input?

Excited for each of you !! I have enjoyed and learned so much on here the past couple of months. I loved the biohazard comment and must remember tomorrow as I have my sugery at 9:15am. My 57th birthday is Thursday and can't think of a more awesome gift. I will be praying and thinking of each of you.

Thank you everyone only 48 more hours to go before surgery and the hints are so helpful.

Okay question #2 can you add peanut butter to chocolate protein powder just about 1 tsp?

Thanks everyone I have been trying different things preparing for my surgery on Wed. Feb. 27th.. So since you all are so awesome here is another question. I used Injury protein today and added some Strawberry lite yogart and a few strawberries. Can we add things like that to the protein and of couse I did soy milk. : )

Does anyone know if we can drink Sobe Lifewater? I just came across fuji apple pear andvit is SO YUMMY?????????

Wow I have not had my surgery yet but I am scheduled for February 28th. I think I would be following up with my surgeon. Hang in there and I wish you the very best.
