I am scheduled for surgery on Dec 31st (yay!). As part of my pre-op regiment I had to lose almost 30 lbs which I did. Now that my surgery is scheduled, I've found it much harder to stick with my pre-op diet. If I gain any weight between now and my pre-op appointment or surgery the Dr. will cancel. And becuase between now and then is Thanksgiving and Christmas I already see it being a challenge.

Any tricks that have helped you stay on track? Any healthy "treat" recipes you can share?

Thanks in advance,

Lori

I would just lay low and stay active and get it done - It is a great tool and you will be so happy

at Thanksgiving focus on the turkey and vegetables. Maybe just a 1/4 C of the stuffing and sweet potato casserole. Skip the bread. My first Thanksgiving post-surgery, I brought pumpkin yogurt for my dessert (while everyone else ate pumpkin pie). It was fine. A lot of brands make pumpkin yogurt this time of year. Stay active...
