I'm a bit worried about what healthy food options there will be for me th at I'm actually able to eat. I may just put off eating so ft foods for a few extra days so I'm not tempted. Is thanksgiving and Christmas a concern for anyone else? How are people monitoring their progress? I created a spreadsheet of various body measurements, weight, body fat, bmi that I plan on filling out weekly, I started a week before surgery. As well as weekly pictures. 6'1 CW:230 GW:155 BMI 31 Good Luck!! I am excited for you! I think do what will make you comfortable for Turkey day, I know for me in class they said by January day of your surgery they lift all restrictions so for me January 6th and so I am going to miss holiday grub this year and I am ok with that. I wasn't really planning any monitoring type things other that scale... but I do have a skirt and a dress in my closet I have never worn that maybe I will keep an eye on... good luck! 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't believe I am losing at all on this preop diet, I literally never lose weight so it is building up hope that all of this will work since I have started to now it has been 24lbs.... I am amazed and my thought of what would be nice for myself was 275 pre surgery I am holding strong at 276.4 so hopefully this next week it will be achieved.
