Another holiday feast to attend....

For all of my fellow pre-op's that are on all liquids: how much fun is this? I'm going to be banded on 12/29 and by that time, I will have sat through 4 holiday dinners and 2 huge carry-ins at work. All of which, I cooked something for. It has been tough...on everyone really. Apparently, everyone else really enjoyed watching ME enjoy food and they miss it. It hasn't been THAT bad though because I have found a little trick. At all the sit down dinners, I have heated a can of low-sodium broth and "enjoyed" that with everyone else. It is amazing how fast people eat! At all 4 events - I was the last one done! Just the action of dipping the spoon and eating helped me feel connected to the group. Much more than if I had drank a shake. Give it a try, if you're struggling too. Merry Christmas to all!

Preop sucks! There's no way to sugarcoat that. It sounds like you are doing well, though. Just keep plowing through!!

Hope all went well today. You did so good with your holiday eating (drinking I mean!)
