....tonight. :) my mother in law wanted to have thanksgiving again so we ended up having left overs tonight. A couple ounces of turkey and some brocolli side dish of 1 oz. Just letting you know that it is possible to get thanksgiving seconds as a sleever. :)

I've had seconds and thirds and fourths, just not much at any meal. Pie and coffee too!

I've also walked my hiney off!

I am terrified... I ate some thanksgiving dinner, a couple of ounces of turkey and some stewed squash but I also had a couple of tablespoons of dressing and a tiny piece of pumpkin pie, not all at once but spaced out. Then I have been having left overs yesterday and today. No pie but turkey and squash and a little bit of dressing again. Not able to have my Protein Shakes like I should but this evening, I had gained two pounds. Still, since I had surgery on Oct 30, I have lost 25 pounds and a total of 35 since pre-op diet. I am sick with worry. Hope eating that dressing and such did not mess me up. I actually lost that extra two pounds with a stomach virus I had just prior to Thanksgiving. I guess, I need to chill and get over it! Right??

Yeah, i took a really good 6 mile suburbia walk with hills. Me and my dog had a great time with the sun on our backs and the wind in our hair. Really felt like I toned up the flab behind my knees and those 2 ounces of turkey from last night. Lol.

I think this was the first thanksgiving for a lot of us. I think I have done awe some compared to other years. My acid reflux is out of control. Taking tums , zantac and nexium. I think it's a matter of blowing it for me but eating smaller portions of rich foods like stuffing. My body is used to the same kinds of foods. Tomorrow I need to let my acid relfux heal. Guess I better do some googling. On the positive side down 52.5 pounds and down to a size 12from an 18/20. All amazing journeys have trials. Tonight mine is chewing enough tums. Lol Merry Christmas

Never weigh yourself at night it's the heaviest you'll be all day.

      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.
