Hey there, welcome to the forum.
Glad to read that you are doing well with the surgery and congrats on the pounds lost. Sounds like you are doing great. Keep up the good work! Don't be so sad about the food part...it's just food...and we all go through that "mourning" phase. We can still enjoy it but in smaller portions. Chew your food well and enjoy every morsel, that's what I do.
