Can’t drink protein shakes! Post op
Premier Chocolate and banana cream are the only ones that I can drink on a regular basis. Everything else is to sickly sweet and artificial tasting. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Thinking About Gastric Sleeve
It's been almost a year since I had my sleeve done and I can honestly say it was the best decision I've ever made for myself. I fought my weight for 30 years, and won small battles, but never the war, not until now that it is. I feel healthier and happier than I have in years!

Hi teesdg, My incisions are all healed but still visible. Between my gallbladder surgery and then my sleeve surgery, I have so many scars on my stomach, looks like the face of a clock. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello All! For the first time ever, I voluntarily posted a picture of myself on FB. I was sleeved on 3/6/17. Just a couple days after my 49th birthday. My SW was 236, my CW is 163, and GW is 150. Other than my first week being a pure nausea hell, everything else went great. I do miss eating more than a few bites of food when I'm really enjoying the taste of something. I also miss baking. One of my favorite hobbys. My co workers also miss my baking! Lol But I feel better than I have in years! I would never have asked for, and gotten there promotion at work, had it not been for the surgery. I knew I wouldn't have been able to do my current job if I didn't lose the weight.

Can't get over dehydration
I had trouble getting all my water in, so I drank very warm fruity herbal teas. It helped immensely and went down easy. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Psych Evaluation
I was nervous too, but my evaluation was really just a long talk about the surgery, long term goals, my support at home, making sure that I understood the entire process etc... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using BariatricPal mobile app

Dr. Onopchenko
Dr. Onopchenko did my sleeve on March 6th. He was awesome. His entire team and office staff are great. I've never been so impressed by any medical staff as I was worth them.

Avocado soft food
I used it mixed in a little with my pureed chicken or turkey salad.

Very nauseous
I was nauseas for 4 days and also had "buyers remorse", but on the 5th day, I could finally keep some warm herbal tea down. It got much better from there

Random Bariatric Thought of the Day.
I was very lucky with my surgeon and his staff. Dr. Onopchenko was wonderful. He and his staff were very kind and explained everything. Treated me and my husband with great respect. Best experience with a surgeon that I've ever had.

I don't like the way I feel
My surgery was on March 6th. I felt sick for 4- 5'days but then I woke up one day and felt so much better. I'm still a little tired but im feeling better every day. And yes, I too have this insane heightened sense of smell. Drives me crazy...

Gross
I went through the same thing. I think it's because all we are taking in is liquid, so that is what comes out. Once I started on pureed foods it firmed up a bit.
