We had surgery the same day. I started at 275, the day of surgery I was 252 and my current weight is 222. I feel good most of the time. It is a great new life. I haven't shopped yet - just moving back down into clothes that have been in my closet. Thankful I usually buy classic clothes for work.

I'll look forward to improved taste buds. Seems like an odd response to the surgery.

I was sleeved on 1/21. I have completely lost my taste for food. Nothing really tastes like it did before. The only thing I am enjoying right now is beef Jerky, which is great for the Protein but does have a lot of sodium. Food looks good, but when I eat it, no satisfaction at all. And that includes all types of foods, meat, vegetables, fruits and sweets. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Sounds great. Do you have a calorie and protein count?

What's sliming?

Lost 23 lbs pre-op. Sleeved on 1/21. 20.8 lbs. post op. Total 43.8 lbs. Still struggling to get enough water; enough calories w/o exceeding carbs. Any suggestions?
