Exciting Week Coming Up



Recommended Posts

Thanksgiving day I will progress to pureed foods. I am very excited about that. I am preparing some dishes that I can freeze in 3 oz quntities. Will make it easier during the week whe I go to work. This coming week I only work Monday and will be off the rest of the week. My brother lives in NY while I live in PA. Tuesday I will pack up and stay with his family for the week.

I was trying to work on a menu for myself for the week.

Well today my sister in law called to tell me she spent a few hours on the net yesterday looking up blogs from sleevers to get ideas of what I will be able to eat. She told me she went shopping and picked up SF pudding, greek yogurt, tuna, canned chicken and is making a pot of fat free refried Beans. She also has squash, carrots, and green beans. She was so excited shopping for this stage of my diet for me. She even picked up SF ice pops. She said, just bring your shakes if you need them and your Vitamins, we are all set here for you!

I cant express how much I love her. She is such a caring and wonderful person and my brother made a phenomenal choice in his life partner. This thanksgiving is going to be so exciting because for the first time in forever, i will not stuff myself like the turkey! It will be about family and enjoying company more than anything. My brother then told me when dessert is served, that he will go for a walk with me so the temptation wont pose a problem.

I am really blessed. Truly truly blessed.

So excited for this next phase!!

Your thread made me so happy! I agree with everyone they sound like amazing people. But I have to believe that you have done things right with them to earn their love and support, so don't forget to take a little credit for it :)

I hope you and your son have a wonderful holiday.

Thank you all, I do have an amazing brother and SIL. My bro and I are 4 yrs apart but are super close. We speak numerous times throughout the day , think alike and pretty much have the same reaction to things. We have been this close all our lives.

We also see each other at least every other week.

They have 2 boys whom I am crazy about and he is the same with my son.

I am very lucky indeed!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
