Starting weight 230# Surgery day weight (6/29/16) 212# Current weight 160# I feel great. People say I look great. I just thought I'd be happier. I've lost a lot of weight and I'm not at goal yet. At least 20# to go. That's not the problem. My skin is so loose. Under my arms, thighs, breasts and butt are wrinkly and loose. I look great with clothes on. I won't even look at myself naked though. Is so bad that I feel like my face is wrinklier and older looking. Eyelids are even saggy. I'm only 43 years old. I'll never be able to afford plastic surgery. It all just makes me sad. I'm like a wrinkled lunch sack. Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved June 29 and since then I've been extra sensitive to smell. I feel like I have the nose of a dog. The problem is everything smells revolting to the point of making me nauseous. Is this the new me? Has this happened to anyone else and does it go away? Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

How was your pain after surgery? I am POD 1 and the pain after I take even the smallest sip is excruciating. Even with pain meds it takes breathe away. When does it start to go away??? Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I'm the same way. My husband and I are in the very early stages of sleeving but I've always loved to cook. That's my way of nurturing. I think I'm going to cook normal and just get some of those little tin foil pans at the $1 store. You can freeze it or have the kids run it to the elderly neighbors.

I love these shakes! chocolate is great, banana OK, strawberry tastes like what Play doh smells like and haven't tried vanilla because I'm not fond of the flavor to begin with. Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I love the chocolate Protein shakes but hate how all this protein makes my mouth feel and smell!! I brush my teeth all the time but still have a cotton mouth feeling. Yuck! Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I noticed a huge difference in pain from POD 3 to 4. I finally felt human POD 4. Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

I felt the same. Lol, like labor pains in chest. Goofy but raising my arms above my head and straightening my back a little helped after I took a drink. Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

Freaking out!! Just booked my surgery for June 29. Worried about how I'll feel afterwards. After surgery am I going to be starving but can't eat? Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App

Thanks. The head hunger thing makes sense. Makes me think of I could have controlled that I the first place I wouldn't have needed surgery. Sent from my LGLS991 using the BariatricPal App
