Anyone else struggling with food smells on thanksgiving?



Recommended Posts

I am in my aunt house with three tables full of food. It's not time to eat yet but I'm already experiencing anxiety. Any experienced sleevers with advice?

I'm 5 months out, and I had a little turkey, a litttttle mashed potatoes, gravy and carrots. Stomach is ok so far but I also have gallstones and don't want to trigger them so I'm taking more precautions! I currently left the room for dessert time. It sucks so much but I'm 100 lbs thinner in 5 months. By next thanksgiving I'll be a size 8! ????

Take a deep breath and let the anxiety go. You can physically only eat a small amount. I am very thankful for that!

I'm 3 months out too. Also had a little of everything. Turkey was dry, so had to take a sip of Water. Other than that, it wasn't too bad

      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.
