Yasman 195 Posted November 28, 2014 Well, what I started with , while significantly less than I ever would have put on my plate before sleeve surgery, was a much fuller plate than yours. That said, what I ended with arguably looked exactly the same as what I started with. I was able to eat 1 (of 2) piece of ham, one bite of mashed potatoes, none of the turkey, 1-2 bites of green bean casserole, and about 2 ounces of sweet potato. At the end, I honestly could hardly tell myself what I had eaten vs what I hadn't. And the strange/fun fact thing was the whole time everyone else was eating, I was sitting there with a full plate not ogling what I could not eat. It was just "stuff" sitting there, of virtually no interest to me. Chalk up a win for sleeve surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyJaney 775 Posted November 28, 2014 Mine looked the same way. It's my first Thanksgiving too. Strange not to have seconds and even stranger was that I was so stuffed with so little. Happy Day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CheleLynn45 615 Posted November 28, 2014 Good job with your eating guys!! And Happy Thanksgiving!! I am only 4 1/2 weeks post op so I was able to only eat 2.4oz of turkey with a very little gravy on it. I put a kiddie size spoonful of mashed potatoes on my plate, but didn't touch them. I was full and pretty satisfied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
