Callback delayed with q nodejs

I am using the Q promise library for making database calls as follows:

var promise = Q.nfcall(function(){});
promise.then(removeFromOldList(data))
    .then(addToNewList(data))
    .done();

function removeFromOldList(data) {
    console.log('removeFromOldList');

    // remove the card from old list
    DB.ListTable.findOne({ _id : data.oldId},
        function(err, snippet) {
            if(err) console.error("An error occurred");
            if (err) console.error(err);
        })
        .exec(function onFind(err, snippet) {
            console.log('removed the card from old list');
        });
}

function addToNewList(data) {
    console.log('addToNewList');

    // add the card to the new list
    DB.ListTable.findOne({ _id: data.newId},
        function(err, snippet) {
            if(err) console.error("An error occurred");
            if (err) console.error(err);
        })
        .exec(function onFind(err, snippet) {
            console.log('add the card to the new list');
        });
}

But the console log gives me:

removeFromOldList

addToNewList

removed the card from old list add the

card to the new list

How can i make the callbacks be executed before the promise is returned.
