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?

You look fantastic! Beautiful family as well! The sleeve was the best decision you have made for yourself and your family to be able to live a healthy life. ;0) I have seen your before pics awhile back and you completely transformed. Your testimony has given me a second chance at life as I undergo my surgery in 2 wks.Thank u!

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

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
