Gobble! Gobble! Turkey Day Pics!



Recommended Posts

Ok all you post op sleevers! How did you spend your day?? Did you take any pics? I'm like the "selfie" queen these days :P But today for thanksgiving my little family unit did our traditional thanksgiving at the beach. For the last 6 years I cook everything the day before (and they all eat like piggies) then on thanksgiving proper we pack up turkey sandwiches and spend the day giving thanks at the beach :) Here are some of my pictures, Please show me some of yours! :)post-167126-0-65615700-1385692079_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-06043400-1385692118_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-63382500-1385692161_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-39120000-1385692207_thumb.jpg post-167126-0-29619500-1385692244_thumb.jpg

That's great LV and you are looking so healthy and fit. All that hiking and biking is paying off.

Missus butter and myself ran a turkey trot 5 mile race this morning. I'll have some official race pics in a couple of days but for now all I have is this post run/freezing our asses off selfie. Afterward we grilled jumbo bacon wrapped shrimp for our non traditional turkey day "feast." I use quotes around that word because now 3 shrimp fill me up.....but I still made 5 pounds. WTF?

My turkey day pics would be me in two diff sets of pajamas :P Today was lazy day. I cooked a bit but really just hung out. Highlight of my day was realizing how great coconut oil feels on your skin after a shower.

Not only does she look like you a LOT, your body shapes are very similar too. They're so sweet Laura. Love their smiles.

Girl that's my kind of turkey day!! We didn't get to the beach until 12pm :D

Yes she has my body but in a size 2 and buff..

She was doing push-ups right after we ate..

You don't want to mess with that girl she will take you down even though she's short.

She does cross fit and likes to kick the boys asses and she is the one to catch at her ROTC weekends...

SHE DOES NOT TAKE AFTER ME IN THESE THINGS:p

Her mama is a lazy slug :D

      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.
