SV, NSV and an Eggface thank you!
First of all: I am just over 2 weeks post op. I have lost 15 pounds since surgery, 30 since preop liquid diet.
I just started purees and I must say: THANK YOU EGGFACE! If you haven't tried her ricotta bake, it will change your pureed life! Also, I have been having a hard time choking down my protein drinks. We bought an ice cream maker and I made my first batch using Eggface's protein ice cream recipes (a strawberry cheesecake was my first attempt) and I nearly cried when I tasted it! If you have not checked out Eggface's site, go do it, right now.
And finally: Yesterday I was at Walmart and they had a ton of bathing suits on sale. I found some bottoms in a 22/24 (no tops though) and my mom suggested I buy them so I could have a suit to wear as I lost weight. My last suit was a 32/34. Well, this morning I thought I'd try them on just for ****s and giggles....and they fit!!!! Whaaaaatttt??? My mind is officially blown! Me thinks I am going to do some closet stalking and find what else I can fit into.. This made me realize that I am at a lower weight than I was on my honeymoon, so I think I may already be smaller than my brain realizes.. This is awesome!
Eggface's recipes are indeed a lifesaver. I checked out her blog daily immediately after surgery. The photos of her food inspire me to make my meals as attractive as they taste.
