Hello. Stalls happen and are not usually anything to worry about. Which is easy to say, not nearly as easy to accept when it's happening to you. It can also be very difficult to not think about food, especially when you're on liquid and not chewing at all.
That being said, it is imperative that you to stick to your liquid diet. A very large portion of your stomach has literally been CUT OFF. And you are still using it. You would not walk on an amputated foot immediately after surgery and you should not be eating solid food until cleared by your doctor for the same reasons. Your stomach really, really needs this time of liquids only to heal. You can permanently damage yourself if you eat solid food too soon, so please, please don't.
The hardest part of this journey is learning to eat healthily and to treat ourselves and our bodies with respect. There are so many times, even now, that I want to eat crappy food. I was raised on it, and it is in my heart and soul lol But it causes me actual harm and I deserve better.
Will Kraft Mac and Cheese and Cheetos always have a place in my heart? Yep. But I do not eat them any longer. That isn't to say that every bite I take is "good for me". But if I'm wasting Cheetos type calories, I'm getting a fresh baked goods lol
