If you had asked me a few days ago what my blog would be about today, I would have told you that it would have been a very short list of what I can have on my liquid diet. However, yesterday morning I got a call from the Bariatric Center and they had to move my surgery. Now its not till August 2. That means, I have another whole week of solid food. I am tempted to have another week-long farewell to dessert but much to my surprise when I think about it, I am just about sick of dessert. I had so much sweet and yummy dessert last week that I gained 10 pounds and apparently my taste buds are just sick of it.
So, I am going to try and have all the different kinds of regular food I can't have for at least a year, So, last night we had pasta with Alfredo sauce and scallops. Mmmmm. Tonight we're going to have bourbon marinated salmon with 3-cheese rice and some sort of vegetable smothered in cheese (probably broccoli). Another night we'll have meatloaf with heavily seasoned baked potato bites all smothered in gravy. Double mmmmm. Pasta, rice, potatoes and even vegetables are not on the list of after surgery items. In fact, most things aren't on the list.
As I arrive at each phase of the pre- and post-surgery diets I will post a blog with the list of foods that I am allowed to eat. Maybe as the list grows you guys can help me to brain storm ideas on how to keep my food interesting. Well, I guess I better get some work done. Lots do get done before surgery.
