msash06 7 Posted May 2, 2015 (edited) I am 27 yrs old and 2 days post-op from having the gastric sleeve. I was nervous but have had a good support system through it all and am doing well so far. I mainly miss having a nice meal with my significant other. Anyone else still cook for their family or have things changed? The smell of the food is more of the tough part and not being able to taste it just a little bit. Anyone else having this same struggle? How are you coping?

msash06 7 Posted May 2, 2015 @@proudgrammy Oh he's definitely supportive, I guess what I said came across the wrong way. He has made better choices but just the food in general smells good you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
