Day 5: Half way there

Jun 14, 2014

Am half way through my pre-op diet . Hard to believe it is going this fast. Five days til surgery. Was telling my roommate that I could really go for a raw carrot to chew on right now, but, unfortunately, they are not on my physician's list of acceptable food. Just want to be able to sink my teeth into something crunchy. Guess that will have to wait for a couple months at least. The one thing that I am glad is that I haven't had cravings for sweets, fatty foods, or fast foods. Have even been thinking about healthy ways to make foods/dishes I like and if there isn't a conversion, something similar that is healthy. Have invested in 3 bariatric cookbooks and have marked several recipes I would like to try. Have some new recipes for each phase to make it interesting. As I am the cook, I hope my roommate is up to the challenge trying new things. He likes his regular foods and has stated that he will not eat "special" foods. The funny part is he said the same thing when I was diagnosed as a diabetic, but in the last 10 years he has been eating diabetic foods and enjoying them. As long as I can make foods that taste good, I am sure he will enjoy them (and so will I).
