Mountain_lover now on the Pre-op Diet!!

[mountain_lover 3]

I have been on my Pre-op diet since Nov.18 and time is going by so fast. Sunday- Monday-Tuesday will be the last days of my pre-op. I am going to have the sleeve on Wednesday Dec.2. I am glad that this holiday weekend is just about over and that I have not cheated. Yes the food is so tempting, but I am determined that I am going to try to do what is required of me to help the doctor and to help my recovery. I pray that later I will be able to enjoy small portions of all the good food I have missed out on over this holiday. Maybe by Christmas I will be able to eat some of the foods for the holiday just in smaller amounts. I will let you know if I make it to the end of this 2 week pre-op diet without cheating. I have got to get some sleep now if I can.

Well today is now Dec. 11 and I decided to check out all my threads to let you all know how I am doing. I did make it to the End of my pre-op diet without cheating and I did have the surgery. Everthing went real well and I am doing ok. Before the Pre-op diet I weighed 240 pounds which I have some photos posted at that weight. Now I weight 226.6 pounds as of Dec.10 on that morning weigh-in. I am trying to walk some and I am trying to find things to Puree for my Post-op pureed diet, but not much sounds good pureed. I tried some fish that smelled so good last night and I pureed it in cream of mushroom Soup. I had to go slow because a couple of times I felt nauseous. On Wednesday I will be going to the soft food diet, foods that can be mashed with a fork. I am looking foward to that. Well I need to get some sleep, so I am going to stop here and come back to check out and reply on other threads. I am so thankful for all your prayers and concerns!! Have a great day!!
