As happy as I am more office workers are treating me different...it also ticks me off that I'm the same person I was at my starting point.

How about going to a store that sells higher limit scales... and trying it out in the store. No need to buy. Test it!

I just cannot imagine being the one to leave food on her plate. Can't wait!

I don't remember where I found this - if it was here on this site or another site but I wanted to share. It answers a lot of the questions I see asked on here frequently. Now, of course it is no replacement for your own surgeon's instructions but it does help clarify some of the stages and also answers some of the "why" questions.
I printed a copy for myself and my husband today and the information is great to have. I am scheduled for September 4th but haven't had my pre-op visit yet. I don't know if my surgeon's office has his own manual.
Happy reading!

Btw..everything you described is" normal". It does get better with time. Give yourself some leeway! You just had a major life changing surgery! Hang in there!

Make it into hot and sour soup. Yum! I use chicken stock for the base, anyway. Oh, or egg drop soup. Yum! I, too, added plenty of spices to my broths in the liquid stage because you'd be bored out of your mind otherwise.
The cinnamon on cottage cheese is good. I also stir in a tsp. of preserves sometimes. And don't forget that old ricotta dessert if you get bored of cottage cheese - I think it's ricotta, cocoa powder and splenda.
