Christmas Success!



Recommended Posts

I did it! I stuck to the prescribed diet for the holidays. Christmas Day was my first day on my blenderized diet and I was able to eat about 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and 1/4 cup of my mom's delicious mashed potatoes. Everyone else was gorging on fried chicken, biscuits, corn, peas, etc.. it looked good but I was content to eat what I could and just enjoy being with my family.

Later that night we went to my husband's family event. I didn't eat at all since I was still slightly uncomfortable after my new food introduction earlier. (Listening to my body!) His family are all overweight. They are great people. But sitting there watching them all shove Cookies into their pie hole? It was liberating not to feel compelled to do the same.

I made it through! I'm so excited for the year to come!

Good going Leepers!

My husband and I still have issues when we attend family events at his parents house. Many of them there are also overweight and they all focus on food. Talking about eating and what they are eating what they have cooked and what they plan to eat as soon as they finishing eating what they are currently eating!

Never noticed how much the conversation fixated on food as I do now. Hubby and I are not even thinking about eating anything else then what we are currently chewing. We appreciate the deliciously prepared food so much more now, and if we skip dessert these days it's OK and we mark it as a Holiday victory :)

      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?

      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.
