So I got the sleeve april 21. The protein shakes were all gross thick or thin and they gave me issues ( the d word) and went right thru me. Now I'm at the mushy stage n everything tastes like cardboard I dream about food all nite but when I look at it or even smell it I wanna puke the only thing I can taste is crystal light lemonade. Im lucky to get two oz of food in a day it makes me feel gross. Im ok sipping the fluids. I need help guys pls. This is wigging me out

I don't have much advice, I felt the same way and barely ate or drank anything..it all made me miserable. I can tell you that it does get better. About 4-5 weeks out I started feeling a little more normal. Now I'm able to drink just fine and eat most things with no problem. I had surgery April 7th.

I just feel beat down. Everyone says that it gets better I just dont see it

Relax. I wasn't hungry at all for the first month. I survived on platinum hydro whey powder. It's thinner than the premixed shakes and goes down a lot easier. It allowed me to get my protein when I couldn't tolerate solids. I still drink one or two a day and I'm almost 3 months out. The dr said as long as I eat something to keep my stomach working it was fine to get most of my protein that way. For now anyway. I can eat solids I'm just never hungry except at night. I does get better, don't let your head fuck with you. You just need more time.

Even though I did not have any complications from surgery and was on a rapid progression to whole foods (six weeks) it still took almost two months to feel human again. I was so glad for being retired, and I really feel for those of you who have to care for small children or go back to the everyday grind at work. The impact of the surgery just knocked me down flat and it just took a while to get my mojo back. Now that I am over four months out, I have more good days that bad. Watching and feeling the weight come off makes it all worth the inconvenience.

I had to force myself to eat for almost 3 months. I had no interest in eating or drinking and it was defiantly a chore, not a pleasure. It will get better. You are only 3 weeks out and your stomach is not even healed yet. Be patient. You wouldn't be out playing basketball if you broke your leg 3 weeks ago....this is no different.

Thx guys I am at the dr now for the follow up. I cant even fit in the jeans i had before surgery I dont see any weight lose it might be a head thing. Seeing the shrink next wk thanks for listening
