I have my appointment with the Bariatric Centers dietitian today at 2:30.  I am nervous.  Mostly I am nervous about having to get weighed again.  My scale says I am doing well but will theirs?  It's crazy that I am stressed about that, how could their scale be that different?  I guess that's the anxiety disorder in me.  Oh well, I'll keep my fingers crossed. 
I am not expecting to learn anything radically new at today's appt.  I do have to pass a quiz about nutrition and the lap band though.  I think it'll be fine, I learn quickly.
On the food front I have eliminated foods from my diet that I will not be able to eat post op.  I have not been eating pasta, rice or bread products for the most part.  I do eat some light multi grain bread (it's really thin) but I think that's it.  I gave up the muffins, bagels, english muffins, and white bread.  It hasn't been too bad so far. 
Tonight I am going to try a new meal.  I have been craving homemade mac and cheese for a while.  When I really thought about it it's not the pasta part I crave it's the yummy sauce.  I bought some cauliflower and reduced fat cheese to make the sauce with and am going to try substituting the cauliflower for the pasta.  We'll see.  I know a lot of people use cauliflower as a substitute for pasta and potatoes so I am hopeful it will be edible. 
OK, enough talk about food it's making me hungry!  I'll be back later to update on today's appt.!
