Thanksgiving Eats!



Recommended Posts

Going to a brunch. Menu: bacon/cheese quiche, stuffed french toast, hash browns, sausage, assorted bagels/muffins/pastries, fruit. I am 10 weeks post op today. Have been doing reduced fat and no sugar since surgery. I worry about dumping syndrome. What is everyone's opinion about having a forkful of each?

Personally I would only have bacon/cheese quiche and sausage

I second that! Stick to the Protein. Or pick your top choice carb and have s CDs bites of that one only

Great advice! I went to Vegas last weekend to celebrates hubby's 60th birthday and ate too much carbs! I died which triggered an IBS episode that is still active. Not worth it! I am 9 weeks post op, RNY by the way.

Dumped, not died! Auto correct!

In the restaurant, Id have only Protein, being careful to not overeat. I might take something home to try later. I'm just 4 weeks out from RNY. I'll be having 1.5 oz of lamb + a bite of sweet potato.

For brunch I had a couple tablespoons of stuffed french toast and sliver of quiche (didn't eat end crust). dinner I had tablespoon of each side and a slice turkey. Felt fine and tolerated it all (kinda scary) but found I was totally lacking in my daily Protein. Glad Thanksgiving is over!

      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. 🤞
