Why this is one of the best Christmasasses ever !

[Jessiegirl30 149]

For the first time ever I can not over indulge at Christmas ( without being sick) and for the first time in a long long time calories are not on my mind ... I can have a little bit over everything and not over eat , if I over eat I throw up it's that's simple .. And over eating for me is is 2/3 of a sass age instead of 1/2 .

My thoughts go out to anyone out there who is pre surgery on their post op diet and won't be able to enjoy the food this year ... Look at it like this , this is the only time in your life you will need to miss Christmas food , once in your whole life. Not such a big deal rite :-)

Anyways I am a day ahead of most of you because I am from New Zealand so it's Christmas Eve here and I have finally finished work for the holidays I get 11 days off to spend with family and my husband and enjoy a little break before back for another year .

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year :-)

I am so glad for you! I missed out on Thanksgiving (surgery was Dec 30), but we did an early one. I will miss the treats this year for Christmas and New Year's, as I'm strictly on puree, but I can wait. Enjoy your time off and Merry Christmas!

I had my surgery this morning. I am feeling great ! Dr said I had a large hiatal hernia about the size of a small melon. He fixed it and said it was probably affecting my breathing. He also took out a large chunk of fat I that are as well. I am calling it free Lipo. I have very little pain at this point. I am so glad I did this ! Also I lost 12 lbs on the one week liquid pre-op diet.
