Happy Thanksgiving! It's my favorite holiday and we have a big party every year even though Australians don't have thanksgiving and it is hard to find a turkey that weighs more than 4 kg (8 pounds) here. This year the party was on Nov 16 and we had about 40 friends over. This was my first sleeved Thanksgiving and it was perfect. I got my 50 grams of turkey, a spoonful of everything else I wanted, a couple bites of pumpkin pie and a couple glasses of wine. The leftovers lasted almost a whole week and I never got sick of it and I didn't gain weight (in fact I lost). I really treasures it this year. I feel like I have so much to be thankful for and I am truly blessed to have been able to have VSG and finally start winning the weight battle.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. Traveling at this point (5 weeks) has been interesting but totally manageable. Had the long travel days, rehearsal dinner, wedding and Thanksgiving with 30+ family members. In all this time, maybe 2 people noticed what/how I was eating. The best/funniest food moment: after eating less than half of my meal at dinner last night, my 26 year old, 6'6" cousin looked over at me and said, "Hey, are you going to finish that?" Hilarious. We switched plates; everyone was happy.

Anyway, I am most thankful for all of your crazy assedes, and look forward to being around more soon.

Happy Turkey Day! A huge hug of appreciation to all of you for holding my hand, answering my questions, listening to my stories and being a huge source of amusement throughout this fantabulous journey. Y'all are a wonderful, totally dysfunctional Internet family and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

Smooooooooooooch!

lunch rocked. I don't like turkey much so I ate far too many carbs in sides but that said I am sure I ate no more than 2-3 tablespoons of anything. Corn pudding, stuffing, mashed taters, green bean casserole and 1/2 deviled egg. No slimies, no stuffed feeling and I spread it out so much no one noticed how little I had. It doesn't hurt that everyone knows that I don't let my food touch so little scoops far apart weren't totally out of the ordinary.

I ate a little more three hours later for dinner and I'm good for the night! I love love love that the stress of counting points, sneaking bites before dinner, gorging, feeling miserable and then gorging again with all the requisite guilt was eliminated. I enjoyed the conversation more than anyone and left the table happy and satisfied. I feel so fuckeding free!

I'm really not into turkey anymore. I had it for way too many years. My wife made a primer rib roast with a spinach applewood bacon stuffing, horseradish celery root potatoes and a spring mix salad. Everything was great but I could only eat very little of if. I also had a glass of a great Bordeaux. My wife made baked apple dumplings with a caramel hard cider sauce and homemade frozen Greek yogurt. I had a few bites and was good. This is the beginning of my first holiday season since being sleeved in February. I'm am so prepared for whatever the holidays throw at me.

Maybe you need to see your surgeon for a revision.

      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.
