Well. I did it. I survived Thanksgiving. I may not have followed my pureed food rule, but I was very careful and made sure everything was chewed very well. I ate mostly turkey breast which is what I am supposed to do - protein first. I literally had a cereal spoonful of mashed potatoes and also of stuffing. I also enjoyed a small spoonful of cranberry sauce. Nothing to drink. I was full afterwards. I didn't make any dessert. I had some sf/ff pudding. About an hour after dinner, my family and I went on a walk around the neighborhood and then I went around again on my own. I was booking it! Felt very good.
Since it was just our little family today, we went to our zoo. What is usually a short 45 minute drive turned into a 2 hour drive. Not even 7 miles from home traffic was dead stopped. Two very nasty accidents. It took us almost an hour and a half to go 5 miles. But we did get there eventually and basically had the place to ourselves. I can't tell you how much easier it was to walk around the zoo from the last time I was there. No pain in my feet. I wasn't tired. I even raced my daughter up the ramp coming out of the sea lion exhibit. I cant remember the last rine I ran like that. 30 lbs off my body really has made a difference.
I am at a standstill with my weight right now. I got the Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred and did that yesterday. I am feeling it today. I am hoping that combined with the walking it will move things along and will help with toning.
I start post-op week 4 tomorrow and I will be sticking with eating my pureed foods instead of moving on to eating normal food. I see my doctor on Monday and we'll see what he says. I don't know if I will be getting my first fill then, so we'll see.
