Yes.. My taste buds have changed. Only 11 days post op and I actually like cream of tomato soup. I would never eat it before even when I fed it to the kids. My oldest is 22 and she thinks it hilarious that I like it now.

Dec 30th, 2015 was my surgery. My head hunger has definitely returned. But it is amazing how 1/4 cup of cream of tomato soup fills me up. I do really want to chew on something (anything). I sometimes think about chewing on a piece of chicken and spitting it out. I don't! I am still working toward 64 oz of Water, but getting at least 40-42 oz. Really excited about getting to the next step of pureed foods. I stayed the 2 days in the hospital to make sure I had structure. Plus it was easier to walk around the hospital wing. I left the hospital on January 1, ( yes New Years Even in a hospital bed) only taking children's liquid Tylenol. I only took it a couple times a day for a couple days. I am up and active most of the day with a couple 15 min rests on my back to relax my stomach muscles. I don't think my lack of pain is at all normal, but very thankful. I am already dreading going back to work next week. Hope all is going well with all Dec and Jan "sleeves" !!
