Three Weeks from my Bariatric Sleeve Surgery

I am currently three weeks from my surgery date. 

What am I eating?

I have just started puree'd foods.  So far I have had mashed Avacado and Cauliflower puree.  For different meals of course.  I can only eat about a quarter of a cup of food before I can not eat any more. 

I was so looking forward to porridge for breakfast and forgot I was allowed to have it.  So tomorrow I am having a little porridge. 

I am eating Chobani Low Fat Greek Yogurt which is very yummy and refreshing.  I have about half a pouch for breakfast then finished the rest off later in the morning. 


I am still forgetting to get more water in, I need to say no to my morning cup of tea and drink more water.  Other than that I have to make  time to get my vitamins bought and started.  

What do I miss?

Not a lot really.  I am looking forward to being able to chew things however I am so busy trying to work out what I can eat that I haven't had much time to miss anything. I am not feeling hunger but I do get weak if I havent taken the time to eat or drink a shake. 

Have I exercised?

Well in the last week I have increased my activity.  I have been walking the dogs as per usual however we also did the race as per my post previous were we ran for half the day around the city.  I was so tuckered out however I am going to make more and more effort to be active and involved. 

 Have I lost any weight?

I have lost some weight, it is my three week mark today and i have lost 9 kilos.  I am happy with that.  I dont know what to expect but I am very happy with that amount.  I have lost 15kg all up.

Do I regret the operation?

I am not allowing myself to have negative thoughts about this decision. I made this decision to be healthier and that is what I have heading for.  A healthier me!  On the forum I am a member of there are definitely people who have thoughts of self doubt and regret but with he right support they are all moving forward.
