Well, I guess it's like I graduated from kindergarten to first grade. Lol

Yesterday, I went for my 2 week post-op follow-up. I FINALLY got those darn staples out (man, those were annoying!!)

I also was moved to purée! Yay!

I gotta tell ya, that first "bite" (sip, really) of Soup reminded me of an Eddie Murphy skit:

"If you're starving and somebody throw you a cracker, you gonna be like this: That's the best cracker I ever ate in my life! That ain't no regular cracker, was it? What was that, a Saltine? That was delicious. That wasn't no Saltine. That was... That was a Ritz. That wasn't a Ritz? God, that was the best cracker I ever ate in my life."

I could only get down about 1/4 cup puréed split pea soup before I felt STUFFED! It was the weirdest experience ever.

This morning I made myself one scrambled egg with some cream cheese mixed in, and it was almost TOO MUCH food! I was just thrilled I tolerated both the egg and the cheese.

After 4 weeks of liquid, and the surgery itself, this was the hardest 4 weeks of my life.

I am just absolutely ecstatic to have finally graduated! :)

Congrats and welcome to stage two!! :-)

But aw man I'm jealous!! My nut said no Soup, not even pea soup because it's high in sugar or something and Soups go right through you, and no cream cheese, and no this and no that. I can only eat weekdays on our list. Sigh. It's so hard to do when I hear others can eat yummy stuff like you are. I don't get it.

we are at the same stage, today I had a boiled egg for the first time but I threw up

for lunch I had a tiny bit of sardine but could not tolerate the smell

for dinner I was able to have chicken lunch meat although it feels like it is stuck in my throat

overall today was painful, maybe my body is not ready for soft foods

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
