Thanksgiving Dinner



Recommended Posts

I say never feel bad. Keep your head, eat sensibly....and be happy about your decisions. We all wanna be normal right? Well normal people have a treat or 2 on thanksgiving. Enjoy a sleevers portion and don't beat yourself up about it. Just make sure what you do eat will not set off your cravings later on.

I think you should enjoy yourself today and not worry about calories. I had my sleeve on July 29 I ve lost 90lbs and I'm celebrating my journey and how thankful I am that I had this surgery. Today I am eating what I want and not counting it on mfp. I am celabrating the fact that last year I could have ate two plates of food and now I can barely eat a fourth of all that. So yes today I'm gonna try all that wonderful food and be stuffed just like last year but with way less food in my new tummy.

I thought it was an incredible experience today to just have a bit of all the good stuff. This sleeve is amazing!

And it was shocking to see how much everyone else ate. I used to out-eat everyone with 2 full plates of everything, and then I'd start on the leftovers as soon as everyone left. Gosh. The change is phenomenal.

I had my sleeve this September and while I wasn't worried about Thanksgiving, I was curious. It's pot luck with my family so I brought a FF cream cheese crab dip, sweet potato oven fries and a high Protein mushroom stroganoff so that I'd have something besides turkey breast to eat. I too was shocked at how much everyone ate because I know I could have out paced everyone last year.

      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.
