Sooo Did Everyone Have A Nice "last" Thanksgiving?



Recommended Posts

I enjoy reading the pre-op forum sometimes. It's funny how we tend to obsess about our "last" meals (Lord knows I was among them), but honestly I'm now 16 months out from surgery and I ate everything I wanted to yesterday and didn't feel left out at all. Don't stress about it. :)

Go Kart Mozart: I was just thinking the same thing. I was sleeved only 3 months ago, but it was so nice to have this be my first thanksgiving where I wasn't dying from my post-feast food coma!!!! I even had a glass of wine. I promise you guys it's not the end, it's only the beginning. And since I've had the surgery, I don't crave the junk I used to love so much. I used to hate vegetables and love ground beef and now I am the complete opposite. You never know what your gonna get till you jump in, and 9 times out of 10 that last supper syndrome will seem silly to you once you are further out (But I totally went through it too!!). But I promise you my first post op turkey day, was the first one (not to mention the best one) I've had where I wasn't focused on the food, but more on my family. And it made it so much more worth the while!

      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.
