Congrats on your weight loss! It's great that you had it done so young- you will have a lifetime of reaping in the benefits of the sleeve. Definitely check out Egg Face's website- there are so many recipes and information. It is very helpful. I too craved Tomato sauce afterwards- I couldn't wait to have it along with some meatballs. And that is what I did when I was on soft foods. I bought a lean cuisine meal and just ate the sauce and meatballs and threw away the Pasta. Now since you are into cooking- I'm sure you could whip something up that tastes much better. Good luck to you as you continue through this journey!:D

@Youngandwildresa93- I am now going to try the Vitamin waters! That never crossed my mind lol! My mom bought me some of the "naked" brand juices with veggies and fruits in them and I've been diluting them with water! It's so good. I actually like the one that looks like mushed up peas lol. It has wheat grass and all kinds of stuff in it, but its so good lol.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
