Anyone Else On Liquid Diet For Thanksgiving?



Recommended Posts

My surgery is the 19th so I BETTER :-) be home on Thanksgiving but just turkey broth for me. To all the ladies cooking that meal so soon after surgery, my hat is off to you! I just feel bad for my poor hubby. Having my mom bring him a plate.

My surgery is the 12th and I started liquids on the 7th....I fixed a small thanksgiving dinner last Sunday for my hubby and kids still at home. They will all have thanksgiving on Saturday after my surgery so maybe having done that I want feel like I have missed out on so much. Good luck to all of you it will all be worth it.

Hey my new wls family.... Just thought I would drop by and say hey and good luck to the people having surgery today ya'll are in my prayers... On a side note my doctor requires a 2 week liquid diet for surgery so I will be starting that soon and will be on it through thanksgiving which will be tough so my family decided to surprise me this weekend with a thanksgiving dinner at my house and the best part was I didn't even have to cook any of it lol.... I sure do love my family and how supportive they are :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
