Thank you so much for the response. I really appreciate your answer.

Doing better with the soups but I'm just not "satisfied" when I'm full. I think it's because I can't chew so when I hit 3 oz of soup, I'm full but want to keep eating. I'm definitely doing research between head hunger and stomach hunger. Puree foods begin on Wednesday and I'm thrilled for scrambled eggs!

For those getting ready for your surgery (YAY!) I just wanted to pop in with my experience (I am 2 weeks post op tomorrow). I see a lof of 'problems' and sometimes I think its easy for us to talk about negative or 'not great' things trying to help others, but then it makes it seem like everyone has those issues, when im not sure thats the case.
For ME.... no nausea. not once. no vomiting. no tiredness. no dizziness. I did have more pain than i expected, but it lasted less than a week.
Food wise.... I am eating around 700-800 calories a day. hitting protein goals on puree/ semi soft diet. Struggling to get in enough water, but doing my best. Not back at the gym yet but thinking probably next week, based on how i feel (obviously no weights yet lol).
My tastes in foods have not changed at all. I have not had any bad reactions to any foods.
All in all.... sometimes i wonder if i HAD surgery, aside from I can't eat much at a time. But, really.... I kind of think thats ideal LOL
I haven't lost much weight yet but I remind myself that my body is still healing, With a (relatively) low BMI, I will lose slower anyway, and the slower you lose, the less loose skin you have. so.... #perspective
All of yall are amazing and strong! ...............................
