Ever since my sleeve I noticed that my taste buds are over sensitive. Example I opened a Premier shake and drank half, put it back in refrigerator, after several hours i went back to drink the remainder and I couldn’t it picked up all the scents and flavors of other items in the refrigerator. I thought it was just the shake but today I noticed I had a partially opened bottle of Water and I am experiencing the same issue. I had to throw both out. Anyone else had this happen to them?

I can’t drink the premier shakes at all anymore. All whey Protein Shakes are giving me the runs. I get it I’ve had issues with milk in the past but nothing like this. I had surgery 12/27 and a few issues with my throat and ears hurting but that’s getting better. I’m having a hard time with the smell of some Protein shakes and I just keep tossing them. Water and broth are my besties.

Had my surgery dec 26th and doing ok I guess. Still in pain because I have 5 incisions with 1 being really big. Just made a trip to Walmart and walked around and I'm tired. I hate the Protein Shakes. Am able to stomach 1% milk with instant carnation Breakfast, scrambled egg, hard boiled egg and cream of wheat. I feel hungry alot of the time. It's almost a week since my surgery and I'm down 10 pounds. Trying to drink as much Water as I can but it's hard. I feel it might be too soon to be eating real food but I'm tolerating it ok so just taking it easy.

Hi Jean, sounds like your doing great. My surgery was 12/27. It is tough getting all of the liquids in. Funny, we are headed to Walmart now to get some steps in and pick up some supplies. Keep up the good work.

I was sleeved December 19. I have lost 21 pounds since I started the liquid diet before surgery. I am starting my soft diet tomorrow, and I am kinda worried. I don’t want to over eat, and I’m afraid that will happen. Has anyone found different meal plans for us sleevers yet? I would like to find different plans to help this soft diet along.

Hi. New here, glad I found you folks. I had my sleeve surgery on 12-31-18. I'm a wife, mom of two kids , and a pediatric nurse. I gained an enormous amount of weight over the last ten years after I was diagnosed with lupus. I was nervous about the surgery, but I'm so glad I went through with it. I am thrilled about possibly being thinner, healthier and more mobile in the New Year. Good luck to all of us...its going to be a happy , health new year.

Hey sleevers, I'm 20 lbs down myself, and I'm 2 weeks PO SLEEVE on Thursday. I called myself trying grits with eggs 2 days before..NO GO[emoji17] I believe it was the eggs tbh. But I just didn't eat any of it. Had a shitty day on Saturday so I was not in the mood for anything really. Today was so much better, I got mile mile in today, didn't drink all 64 ozs but I did puree some potatoes yesterday and kept it down. I am looking forward to the bake fish when I get there. Still taking mostly liquids though. Any suggestions for the full liquids stage from the graduate sleevers. I am not a fan of the Greek yogurt. Unless it's the brand, I got a different brand this time for the next stage. Keep pushing you guys got this[emoji108][emoji108]

I had to reach out to a coworker who recently had the sleeve 8 months ago, and she said it was the BEST decision she could have made, so that gives me hope[emoji847] you'll do great Mama234. Each day is a day closer to a better you[emoji38]

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
