I just got my surgery date for March 5. I am excited and nervous at the same time but I'm trying to hold it all together.

The smell of food is amazing, but as soon as it hits my mouth, any food, it makes me so nauseous. It's almost repulsive.

I'm around the same stage you are and yeah, experiencing something similar. The first bite or two is pretty good, but then it's like my stomach and mouth team up and override my nose and I lose all interest in eating and feel something similar to nausea. It's very annoying, but I guess it also ensures I don't overeat?

My nutritionist says I may just have OD'd on certain flavors during the pureed phase. But I had some zoodles and bolognese tonight and it was pretty much the same - liked the first couple bites but then meh.

I had my sleeve March 21st. We'd was 3 weeks

Yes! Exactly. A bite or two, then I'm done. Disgusted almost. What was your nutritionist suggestion?

I can't believe I FORGOT that I could switch to soft foods today! I had my normal deal and I was at an appointment and had an epiphany that I was allowed to switch today and hadn't. I am very excited and I guess this is all becoming second nature to a certain extent. Now if I could find a complex vitamin that doesn't make me sick and break my stall I would be doing alright.

What a nice Friday.

I wish! I have lost 45 since 11/9 (pre-op low carb diet) with 15 of that since surgery. I have been stalled for the last 2 weeks..up 2 lbs down 2 lbs. I am looking forward to breaking this stall!

Here a pound, there a pound, everywhere a pound pound! Keep watching your diet, get enough exercise and the chicken fat will keep melting until you can fly straight and true. Me I'm like the dodo, no lift power and about to become extinct.!?

The belly is going down and the “house” of a butt is looking more like a condo ????

praying that the condo soon changes into a studio apartment or even a v rented room?

Stalled all week but down 21 lbs since pre-op appt and my work pants are loose. I’ll take it!

I feel your pain... I started the week at 198.2 and ended it at 198.0. The scale giveth and it taketh away....

Feeling great but always constipated.

Hi bariatric community this is my first post. I’ve had my sleeve done march 27 i’ve never felt so great. I’ve lost 38lbs Post op and 46lbs since my pre-op diet.

I read on one of the other postings that diminished taste is the result of rapid ketosis. OP said it does get better with time.?
