Happy late Thanksgiving everyone. How did the holiday treat you? Were you able to resist the temptations?

I thought it would be hard with all the carbs and dessert but it wasn't too bad at all.

I had a very small plate of Turkey, ham, green Beans, corn and yes... A little bit of stuffing with cranberry.

All-in-all... I think I did great and I actually lost a pound after all that Black Friday shopping and walking it off. It was a great day.

Shauna29.... It's almost December Gf, the time will be here before you know it. Let me know when you go on liquids.

Hi Angelic, I go on liquids on the 8th and yes girl It's creeping up on me.

Not yet... I have thin hair already and can't even imagine what it would be like if I do.

I cut my hair chin length about 3 weeks ago just incase. I heard that shorter hair sometimes helps. Idk why but I needed a haircut anyway.

I just got the bypass done yesterday. I’m on my second day in the hospital. So far it’s just a lot of discomfort. Like really bad cramps all over my belly area.

      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.
