Holy moly. I know I'm not pregnant but the smells when my fiance cooks are horrible. I've also had a gross taste in my mouth to the point of brushing several times a day. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes we do.

What we use to love and give us comfort now makes us sick.

And I can now deal with that.

It does start to go away in time but the taste of some foods I can't stand any more and I use to love them

Oh yes in the beginning I had to cover my nose when I cook for the family.

I've tried to research why this happens and there really is no explaination. Some people never experience this. A lot of things turn my stomach now. I had a strong stomach but now I have a weak pouch!

I have lost my taste for the things I once loved. lunch meats taste like chemicals to me now !!! And meat in general does nothing for me anymore. My smell has not changed but my taste sure as heck did !!! and I am totally OK with it because the things I lost my taste for are not good for me any way !!!

food tastes/smells the same. However, when I first came home from the hospital, my Febreze air freshener was too strong. lol. I'm fine with it now.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
