2 t, but it was for 4 servings. I'm totally with you in wondering what to expect post-surgery, like will my favorite things still taste OK? And if they don't, will it be permanent or temporary?

So did you get your date yet?

*sigh* No word here. My oncologist just got to the letter this week. I also had my 5th RD appointment last week. So I'm sure they may only just be doing it...if they decide to do it at all? I guess I'll check in with them next Monday for grins. I've kinda decided to just sit back and enjoy the ride for the next 3 months instead of trying to stress about it. You know? I'm gonna have a couple of "food funerals" and a couple of glasses of wine during the holidays and try not to go off the deep end with the diet. Kinda 90/10 approach since I technically don't have to lose any more weight.

How are you doing with changing habits and doing your RD stuff? Do you have a specific amount to lose? Mine was 5% of total weight and she said I'm done with that and am about 2-3lbs from being at the 10% mark--which my insurance doesn't require.

The waiting sucks, no other way around it. Food funerals -- yep, having those. I gained about 5 pounds since August -- but I've settled into a 1500 cal 40-40-20 diet now. No pre-surgery wt loss requirements for me, Its awesome that you've lost weight ahead, because its going to go a long way to getting you to a solid final weight.
