My surgery was the day after Easter so I stayed home on Easter and just kind of rested and prepared myself for surgery. It was no big deal, I just did not want to tempt myself into eating heavy foods. I was not on a liquid diet before surgery, I only had to eat light be day before and then take a laxative the night before. I would hide if I were you, it just makes it easier on you. I went back to work a week after surgery, on the second day back to work we had a baby shower for a good work friend of mine, everyone brought in amazing homemade food and I could not touch any of it. I was worried that people would as why I was not eating, I only told my very close friends about the surgery. There were so many people at the shower that no one even noticed that I did not touch the food !!!! Good luck

My surgery is the 30th and I start my liquid diet on the 15th... I'm lucky, my family is very supportive and agreed, if I don't want to be around the food, I don't have to be. We might just get together for some movies and games and skip the big meal all together.

I'm really not that worried about it... when I made the decision to have surgery I thought I'd never be able to quit smoking... then I walked out of my 1st appointment with my surgeon and never picked up another one. To me this entire process is a challenge that I am not going to let myself lose! I started using Protein Shakes for Breakfast in September and I actually think by the end of this week I'm going to replace one more meal a day with another shake. I'm sooooooo ready to be on the other side of the waiting game!

In in the same boat November 16 th is my date. I made a turkey this week so that I could have some before I went out and much to my suprise I did not eat much if it. I am so sick of food making me feel bad my turn take over and I am looking forward to looking at that turkey and walking way I am going to say ha you will not make me gain this year ! You can do it !

My surgery is the 15th, so no turkey for me either. It will stink because I still have to prepare the meal for my family, but I chose to have surgery before the holidays to give me the extra strength. If I can survive the surgery, then 2 major holidays without stuffing my piehole, then I'm set for the new year! Well, at least that's my goal! LOL

My surgery is on the 14th! No turkey for me either!

Keep a magazine of something you want to achieve when you lose weight - clothes, vacation, etc. I flipped through magazine all 4th of July week while people ate BBQ and soda. Ughhh.

My surgery is on November 14th but my hospital does not require any liquid diet, lucky. But I too made a huge turkey dinner for my family so we could Celebrate together so I look forward to eating it next year that's all.

My surgery date is the 26th too! I start liquid diet the day before Thanksgiving:) I have a plan and a state of mind! 1) I am staying out of the kitchen and high traffic food area, we are going to a friend so the family will be able to have the meal and I am traveling with popsicles, protien shakes, Jello, and LOTS of broth. 2) I remember that if it wasn't Thanksgiving it would be Christmas, then Easter...ect... So this is a small sacrafice for the long term goals I have. 3) I am doing a potluck/replacement Thanksgiving on the 16th with some friends so I will not feel like I am missing out.

Wishing us Both the best of luck and feel free to send me a message if you need support on my profile page we can be surgery buddies!
