The Hardest Thanksgiving Ever!
I just had the hardest Thanksgiving in my entire life! I'm still on Faze 2 of my liquid diet, post sleeve, 2 weeks ago. Everyone came over here for Thanksgiving, meaning there were 13 people here, and all but ONE was eating a big Thanksgiving day dinner. With turkey, gravy, dressing, sweet potato casserole, cheesy potatoes, rolls, butter, sweet corn casserole, and of coarse dutch apple pie, and pumpkin pies! They all filled their plates, and filled there tummies, while I sat there and ate my 1/2 cup of cream of mushroom soup! Wasn't fun at all! I want some real food so badly, but I have to wait until I go back to see my doctor's nutritionist on Monday. It will be 3 weeks since my sleeve, and I'm suppose to be able to have more variety of foods then. Usually at Thanksgiving I'd fill my plate, and get over full from dinner, and deserts, but not this year!
My daughter, her husband, and our two grand kids are still here visiting until tomorrow morning. Let me tell you these people can eat! They are the worse "grazer's" you ever saw! Between them, and my husband there's someone constantly in the kitchen eating something!
It's making it horrible for me, for crying out loud, I'm only human! With my sleeve I don't ever feel very hungry, but in my head I have voices saying, "Man, don't you wish YOU could eat that what they're eating"! I know I made the right choice to have my sleeve, but right now it sure is hard to see the whole picture. I have felt kind of down these last few days, and like I'm being punished or something. This has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. On a good note, I have lost 22 pounds since just before my surgery!
Also 68 pounds since I first started my journey to a new me.
