We will all be missing thanksgiving dinner. How are you guys coping with that?

For me, Ive never been a big thanksgiving dinner fan so that day will be fine for me. I think it'll be smaller things like holiday parties w hors doeuvres that'll mess w my head a little lol

Turkey broth?

I'm excited for the changes, more than I'm planning on missing thanksgiving foods.

We're already planning on skipping the big meal and heading to a theme park to walk and not think about it. :) win win.

I'm doing a "friendsgiving" on October 24th. It'll be like my last hurrah before my huge lifestyle change.

My surgeon said I would be on Purred food by then, so I can have a little bit of gravy and mashed green Beans. My mom is purposely making me some broth with shredded turkey.

I'm nervous because it is going to be the first time having a meal with people other than family (my parents are big on not letting others be alone on holidays, so they invited neighbors and people from work).

I'll be a day shy of 3 weeks post op. I'd imagine I'll be in the pureed stage. I won't know till 10/20 what his post op diet includes. If he allows pureed foods, then I'll shred some turkey finely into a Soup. If not, then oh well. I can miss Thanksgiving for 1 year.

I'll be about 3 weeks out too. I'm thinking mashed potatoes or sweet potato casserole? Maybe a little mashed turkey or something.

I'm not too worried about it though...I've done enough thanksgiving binging to last me a decade! LOL

@fab...me too! I've never been more ready in my life for anything like I am about this. I know about 3 people at work who have recently had either the sleeve or bypass and they all say the same thing. It's the best thing that has ever happened to them.

I will be starting my pre-op diet 11/3, having my surgery 11/17, and will be discharged from the hospital 11/19 as long as all goes well. My birthday is 11/20 so surgery really is a gift to myself this year. As a teacher and coach I always put others before myself and I have finally decided that this year it is time to put myself first. With all of my ankle issues I am so very thankful for this opportunity and I am not worried about missing Thanksgiving at all. We are actually celebrating my birthday with my dad's this weekend so that I can start to get into the swing of the pre-op diet early. Hoping to hit 210 or below before surgery! Here's to a happy and healthy November!

I am looking for opinions on Tijuana and Dr Kelly. I had a consultation today with him and was impressed but was taken back by the cost. I want to have it done at Hospital Angeles.

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

        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.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
