I Beat The Turkey!



Recommended Posts

I had to fix the turkey and dressing today and sweet potatoes! I won! Day 4 of pre op diet! Had my shakes, Vitamins, Water and put up my moms tree while the family are the feast!!! I win!!! My favorite meal is the Thanksgiving meal but I enjoyed my Protein Shake and thankful for my upcoming revision. Who else is on the pre op diet ? My surgery date is Dec 8th.

My boyfriend cooked our meal yesterday. I had turkey with a little bit of homemade cranberry relish (made with sweetener instead of sugar), and green Beans without the crunchy onion topping, I passed on the mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, and dressing. Today, I took the remaining turkey leg and made some bone broth. We folks here on the forum are a creative bunch. I applaud you for making it through while on a liquid pre-op diet.

Thank you friends. I've found combinations for shaking up my shakes :) having done the pre op once before 8 years ago for my Lapband I've become a little bit more savy on keeping it interesting. This mornings lovely shake was rinsed mandarin orange, a dash of vanilla flavoring, a smidgins of cinnamon and vanilla Protein. The ninja did the rest. Last night a tablespoon of pumpkin, a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon with vanilla protein. I love to cook so I'm expanding my skills into shakes.

I pray that all are well and taking Vitamins and preparing for our journey on the Sleeve-Train.

I applaud everyone who made it through Thanksgiving on the preop diet!! The diet was hard enough to stick with as it is I feel so lucky to have not had the added pressure of Thanksgiving. I was 8 days out on Thanksgiving and my family kept trying to push all kinds of food on me but I just kept saying no thank you I have my Protein packed yogurt. My mother in law just kept telling me how sorry she felt for me that I couldn't eat dinner over and over. Fianlly my husband told her that this was the whole point of having the surgery and to quit having a pity party that noone wanted to attend. Gosh I love that man :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
