taste buds and family reactions
Is it just me or has anyone's' taste buds changed? some things don't taste the same and savory things seem sweeter. Also, my parents don't believe e when I say I'm full. My mom is concerned I'm not eating enough. I don't want to go back to the thought of having to clear my plate or over eating.. It's just so very frustrating!

better
I've returned from the land of those out of it. I was severely dehydrated a week after the surgery and I'm back on track drinking and eating soft foods. I had to up the water game since were going to the beach this weekend. My sister is also taking me to Disney in October . She purposely made sure I was in the next level for eating. I am thankful she had the surgery before me.

JUNE SURGERY BUDDIES
I had my first appointment since the surgery. The scars are doing nicely. I weighed 213 before my surgery and today I weigh 207! yay! had my first pureed meal it was scrambled eggs and ok. I had a meatball for dinner. Not so great. My grocery order with chicken and tuna cams arrive tomorrow I hope to make egg salad and chicken/tuna salad. Mixing in some avocado into the eggs. is bread ok to have or does that just not sit well after this surgery? I just want buttered toast.

I agree but I had a stroke five years ago and I think my taste buds changed from that so some things taste better like a choc vanilla swirl pudding and some no sugar popsicles by outshine are amazing!

Hello everyone! I'm here and surviving but trying to deal with those dang fast food commercials. My family has planned a beach vacation and I'll be hopefuly starting soft foods by then but I don't want to say until I know more at my weekly follow up visit on Wednesday. I'm trying to drink water and diluted fruit juice to keep mt bloodsugar upm but i'm sick of diluted juices. I have no patience on this whatsoever and I know I need it. I just keep going to get to my sister's point. She's a year out so I have a long way to go to get to her level.
