    Yesterday was my six weeks after sleeve surgery check up. Doctor said I had already lost 22% of my bmi. He said they usually want you to lost at least 29% within three months. I was so excited. My clothes are falling off and l love shopping now. The thrifts stores and consignment shops have become my best friend. I feel better that I have felt in years. I'm thankful for the sleeve.

    Has anyone else taste changed since their sleeve surgery? My taste is really off with almost everything I eat.

      I know what u mean.. Sometimes I'll eat and nothing taste good. I really do not want to eat but I have to for nutrition. It is subsiding somewhat and I am 7 weeks out. Just hang in there. But I have read this several times that taste change after surgery. I used to love sweets, now I crave nutritious food , not sweets. Good riddance.

      Hope you feel better. Give your doc a call and check in they might be able to help you feel better.

      Might want to see the doc, see if you have the flu. If it's caught right away, maybe you can take an antiviral, which will help a little bit. Lots of fluids if best you can and hang in there. Hope you get better soon!

    Before my surgery, I was a water drinker, I had no problem drinking 8 or more glasses of water a day. Now that I've had my gastric sleeve surgery, I can't seem to tolerate water. I get this nasty taste and sometime nauseated. Any suggestions.

      Crystal Light helps if I freeze it and make it slushy, so that's what I primarily do. I just hope this feeling will eventually go away cause I don't like. That's my only downer from having the surgery.

      I was like that after my surgery and for several weeks after . I am 7 weeks out and now am just getting to enjoying a good cold glass of water. Hang in there.

      That's encouraging; hope it's the same for me. People say that water has no taste have not had gastric surgery...LOL

    I haven't had my surgery yet but started the process on March 29th of this year. I'm just waiting for my surgery date and hope it's soon. My song is an oldie - "AIN'T NO STOPPING US NOW - by McFadden & Whitehead.
