Will it's offical. I was approved for surgery. March 18th can't come fast enough. Started pre op. Not bad. 2 Protein shahes and 1 small meal. Nerves kicking in big time. Good luck my fellow March sleevers. Keep posting.

I've been reading about this. Is it that everything tastes bland or just different from how you know it tastes? I'm super curious.

I had mine on the second . Trying to get my Protein and Water but everything tastes so off.

It might be from lack of food. I know I have diet brain...for sure!

I have to say, I started on phase 2 of my diet and I'm having a hard time. For phase 2, I have a shake for breakfast and one for lunch and then a small dinner. I can still have veggies with my shakes and 2 small Snacks. But, my body thinks it is starving. My poor husband is trying to be super patient. I feel cranky! :angry:

A bit of a rant. I realize that this is "my" battle with food and that I can't expect everyone in my life to not eat in front of me, but for the past two evenings, my husband has brought home fast food and ate it in front of me. I normally make something for him but I didn't the past couple of days. This shit just gets real when you are sitting there with your Water and there's the smell of French fries wafting through the air. If I complain, he will tell me that "I chose this", so I don't dare say a word. It just makes me feel like a freak because I can't eat like others do. I survived without raiding the fridge. I just went online and started looking the success stories. I can't wait for the weather to warm up because I am going to start going for walks when this happens again. But really??? French fries?!?! in front of a carb addict!! That's my crack. Okay, *taking a deep breath*...rant over. Boys and girls, we are at war with our own minds. I am not going to let it win. I have just over 3 weeks until my surgery date and I have lost over 30 lbs. in just over a month. I am declaring war on McDonald's french fries! :)

I loved my shakes now they seem obnoxiously sweet. The protein shot stuff I got is sweet and has an aftertaste. I have no desire to eat anything. Everything seems super globby tasting. I also have a mega head ache.

Thanks for the information! I've been wondering what it was like. That is amazing that you have no desire to eat. For years, I wanted to be one of those girls that said "I forgot to eat."

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
