Hello new here!

I just want to start off by saying how AMAZING the community for wls is. I never knew how much support and help I would get from others who are in my same position. I'm Tiffany! 25 years old and had my vertical sleeve done on 4-15-15 and have lost a total of 18 lbs so far! I'm 5'6 inches and my starting weight was 318 lbs and today I'm 300! Sooooo close to never being in the 300s ever again! I'm healing amazinglyjust a little soreness from my biggest incision. Everything's going great except I'm dying for soft foods! Liquids are not cutting it, but all I can do is wait. I have may 2nd circled on my Calendar just waiting! :)

Welcome to a fantastic forum which is an important tool.  Congrats on your weight loss, it just gets better with some work from you but your little tummy (for me) makes this not do hard.  

Something I learned from here while on the liquid phase is to strain some light chicken noodle soup (ie Progresso) and add to your chicken broth.  So satisfying.  

Best of luck.  

Welcome Tiffany!  Sounds like you're doing great!  I found, when I was on full liquids, that plain greek yogurt, mixed with a little instant sugar free pudding mix was more satisfying than just the liquids.  The pudding mix not only adds flavor, it thickens the yogurt and makes it feel like you're actually eating something.  Any flavor but pistachio works, as that one has little pieces of chopped nuts in it.  May 2 will be here before you know it! 

Thank you guys so much! I have done some progress I broth strained. So satisfying! Felt like I was eating a meal lol. Savory things trick my mind into making me think I'm not hungry. I love it. 

Thanks for the greek yogurt tip! I'll definitely have to try that!

Welcome, Tiff!  

Congrats and welcome!  I definitely experienced liquid fatigue.  I was so happy when I was done with liquids!
