Would having a fIll on 11/23 ruin Thanksgiving???



Recommended Posts

I have decided that I need another fill and want to get it done next week on the 23rd or I would have to wait another month...

Does anyone think that by getting a fill that close to Turkey day that I may ruin it or miss out on anything?

I think it depends. There is always the possiblility the fill will be too much and you won't be able to keep food down. If I were you I would go for it, rather than wait a whole month. Hope it goes well and happy Thanksgiving!

I would go ahead and get the fill when you can.

I'm partial though because I'm not a huge fan of the Thanksgiving dinner (sucks having a birthday in late November and always having turkey and pumpkin pie for your bday dinner, lol).

My answer would be if you can get a morning fill on the 23 you will probably be able to eat by noon of 25. My family has a pretty large Thanksgiving with my sisters' inlaws and my brother's step children. They don't know about my surgery and I would'nt really want to discuss it or make up reasons why I was'nt eating. I have been pondering seeing if I can get a fill on Monday or Tuesday as I don't have any restriction and Monday will be two weeks since my last fill.

Thanks All...yes I will be getting the fill around 10:30 am so I hope to be ok by the 25th...I dont eat alot as it is but just dont wanna have to worry about not being able to eat nothing at all while every one else is chowing down it's a mental thing you know. :blushing:

I was supposed to get my first fill on the Monday of thanksgiving week. I opted to move it to the next Monday.

With it being my first fill, I am not sure what to expect etc. I don't want that stress to ruin my holiday.

The food on Thanksgiving was never a big deal for me, it is more enjoying my family.

If I had already had a fill and knew what to expect, I might feel differently.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
