I didn't get to ride my bike today....yet. I might try to get it in after hubby goes to bed. I still don't like exercising in front of him.

It was a pretty good day. I'm pretty used to not eating much now. In some ways I can see how being on this pre-op diet can be beneficial. Not just because of the weight loss but that when I am banded I'm already used to not eating hardly anything.

Here's what I had today: (typical of everyday)

whey protein shake 2scoops in 8oz slim milk

2 slimfast shakes (I'm allowed 3 a day but lately have only been drinking 2)

1 1/2 cups broccoli

1 cup butternut squash soup (90 cals)

1 1/2 cups stir fry veggies

1 diet Dr. Pepper

That's around 1200 cals. And I'm really not hungry. The first few days of this pre-op diet I ate like three times as many veggies but not anymore. I'm actually not supposed to have soup but I've been eating progresso's hearty tomato and tried this organic squash soup. The squash soup is pretty nasty. I like squash. I've eaten a lot of it the past two weeks but the soup just wasn't right. It smelled like pumpkin pie and tasted like onion, garlic squash. It messed with my senses.

I am so ready for my surgery date. Not much longer. I am on the downhill side now at least.

Well, Goodnight. Hope everyone is doing good on their journeys!
