I was to have a 10 day check-up but didn't go till today, which is 1 day shy of 2 weeks, so call it what you want. I was ready to step on the scale, wanted to see what the results were. I weighed before I left home but when I got on the doc's scale I was shocked, I lost 2 lbs just driving to the doctor's office.
Here is the "official" results: starting weight 233 BMI 40. Today was 205 BMI 35!!! Yes I did a little happy dance right there. The doctor was pleased, said I could have a very small amount of pureed food once a day till I start soft food next Thursday. WOO HOO.
You bet I took him up on that. Had some mexican chicken soup pureed & it was heavenly. I had about 1/3 cup taking my time with it. Didn't have any trouble. I did tell the doc that I would start soft food on Wednesday so I can see how I do before going back to work on Thursday. It's amazing how some pureed soup can make me feel human again. I just hope when it comes time to eat good I remember how to chew.
Needless to say I've had a very good day. And you're damn skippy I GOT THIS!
