A Little Lighter today. . .

Dec 21, 2009

I went to see my nutritionist today to get weighed in. I have been seeing her every 2 weeks before surgery. Was happy today to find out I lost 4 lbs which I thought I had not lost any this week due to eatting more red meat then usual. I try not to eat more then a fist size portion, but my husband and I made poter house, roast beef, and sirlion for some family that came over yesturday. I ate more meat then peas this weekend. I have one more meeting with the nutritionist on the 4th before surgery, but I will be seeing her after surgery to make sure I am getting what I need.

I have been really good about cutting my sugars, carbs, and fats so by losing just 4 lbs I still feel I am doing good. I decided, although I don't have to, to go on a liquid diet after the holiday. Also this year for the holiday season we are doing sea food instead of turkey, potatos, and all that other stuff to help me losing even through the holiday. I am not a big dessert person, but I am looking up some sugar free desserts was also thinking of making a fruit salad.

I am trying but not pushing my hubby to make some changes in his eatting habits. My husband is very active. He is about 5'10" and 175lbs, but he has been having some colon problems and I think alot of it is his diet. So thats my new goal. I think he going to hate me this week when I go shopping for his food for work. Plus I have a feeling when he goes for his colonoscopy they are going to tell him the same thing I am.

One week until pre-admissions
21 days until surgery
