I'll be 4 weeks post op but hope to have a sprout! Love them and a bit of roast parsnip, I'm vegetarian too, haven't decided on our main yet. Just made the mince pies and some shortbread, they're smelling amazing!

We have a family tradition of Fonduing in hot peanut oil. We fondue everything from steak to mushrooms, breaded cauliflower, and tempura batter dipped prawns. But first and foremost is oyster stew before the fonduing begins! I will eat everything, just way smaller amount!

Have "road tested" a mini homemade pie which came out well.

Filo pastry filled with Chopped chestnut, Rosehip Jelly, Stilton and with a sage and onion stuffing topping. Made in a muffin pan to hold the shape.

Will have it with roasted veg and gravy..

In our house it's going to be roast beef for Christmas Day. Neither of us (husband and I) are great turkey fans so we shall have some beautiful, if expensive Aberdeen Angus rib roast. I'll do all the trimmings-Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower and broccoli cheese, roast parsnips, roast spuds etc but I will be sticking with the meat and cheese sauce free veg whilst my naturally slender other half attacks the full monty. For the rest of the day and for Boxing Day I shall just do exactly as I did last year when I was two months post sleeve. A little bit of everything so that I didn't feel left out. It worked well for me. I shall also still be dragging the dogs out for their usual five mile walk every morning of the holiday. I may however, have to indulge, just a little, in a few Haribro jelly babies. A girl can't turn into a saint after all!!! Merry Christmas to you all x

Glad everyone had some nice plans and I hope it went better than mine........ :)

Ended up in hospital on the 19th with kidney stones. Emergency operation on on the 23rd, sent home on 24th with festive pain killers and antibiotics and still feeling rubbish.

Christmas dinner was a few spoons of porridge and the half glass of red wine became 3 pints of Water throughout the day...

Oh well, will try again next year lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
