24 days out. Past all post op restrictions.

Tried a small amount of chicken breast tonight. Chewed thoroughly and ate slowly. Came back up 5 minutes later…partially. Not a great experience. No other foods have done that to date?

9 days until surgery.

Religiously on Pre-op diet. Have lost 26 pounds over the last month. Oddly enough not a single pound off this week? Hopefully drop a few more lbs soon? Odd that nothing came off this week I think?

I haven't cheated
