As of today, the weight is at 124.4 kg (274.2 lbs). Starting tonight/tomorrow there will be no more proper meals or major solid foods. As far as meat goes it's going to be boiled chicken, turkey, and tuna fish. I've been eating a lot of soup and smoothies with protein powder lately to try and get my body used to it. And I intend to make those things the main focus of my diet for the next 6 days until surgery. I'll eat some things with substance such as tuna fish on knäckebröd (hard thin "bread"), soups with some chicken and veggie bits, and salads.
I'm not going to lie. This is tough. I have been eating mostly liquid kind of food for the last week for most of my daily meals. And when it comes time to eat real food I'm like voracious. But I do find I get fuller quicker. So yeah for stomach shrinkage!!
I'm hoping the massive limiting of fatty stuff and what not is doing good things for my liver. I read online a healthy liver is the best thing for a quick recovery from a surgery. And I'm also doing this to prepare myself mentally for what is to come. Plus I get a chance to taste all these soups I'm preparing to see if they are even worth storing in the freezer for in a few weeks. lol.
With 6 days left till surgery, I'm definitely getting excited and anxious! After my pre-op meetings we went to the grocery store to get this weeks groceries (mostly fresh veg and soups for me). And I realized this was going to be my last time going grocery shopping before surgery! Doc says I can keep eating regularly until day of surgery. So today was my last chance to buy a big juicy steak or some other horribly unhealthy things. lol. And I did good. Only bought healthy stuff. But I did think about all the things I'd be missing for a while.
Breakdown one more time: I haven't lost any weight yet. I've been changing my eating habits, and as a result I already miss food! lol. But I'll get over it. :) And I'm super excited!!
