I will be 2 and a half weeks out on Thanksgiving and my NUT told me to make all day Thanksgiving dinner. I have to eat five meals' date=' so I am to make one smashed sweet potatoes, one turkey blended with broth, one mashed potatoes and gravy, etc. She even said I could have one spoonful of the center of the pumpkin pie.[/quote'] Good luck! You'll be doing good to have any of it. At two and a half weeks it was shakes and yogurt for me. My belly didn't want anything like that. Heck, I'm 9 weeks out and I'm doing good to get thru tuna fish. In fact I'm having yogurt for supper..... And with that meal plan, how are you going to get in your 60 gms of Protein?

I am 4 1/2 months post op and will try a little of everything that I want. Maybe just a bite of the stuffing though.....bread still makes me nervous. Sounds like I will eat a ton but in actuality it will be a bite or 2 of this and that. can't wait! :)

I will be 10 weeks out. I have not decided what to cook, I do not like turkey. Maybe a hen.

I did it last year - I was 4 weeks out. Don't worry - it's not that bad! I just enjoyed sitting at the table and being part of things with my family.

. Cranberry sauce.... You mean sugar with cranberries right? And as for black olives....actually contain good fats, but a bit salty.

      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.
