Super Bowl LI will be on Sunday, February 5. Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day of the year for pizza delivery, and Americans eat nearly infinite amounts of chicken wings, chips, and beer not to mention dips, Cookies, and fatty meats. The day is even the second biggest eating day of the year after Thanksgiving. That sure does not bode well for weight loss surgery patients!

But you can cope. How are you planning to get through Super Bowl Sunday without doing diet damage? If you are going to a friend’s house, are you going to bring your own Protein Snacks? Are you going to depend on sipping ice Water? Will you host your own party and serve some veggies, fruit, nuts, and Proteins that you can eat? Are you going to entirely avoid any parties?

Share how you will get through Super Bowl Sunday proud of yourself and feeling confident in your ability to party without overdoing it! Also let us know where you are in your WLS journey so we know which foods you can eat!

That's 2 days before surgery..so I am opting to stay home, clean and pack for my flight the next day.

I just had a big family dinner last night and was happy to sit down with my Soup while they had beef burgandy...and sugar free Jello for dessert while they had strawberries and ice cream. My mom said she almost didn't invite me because she didn't want me to struggle with the menu. I had already been with friends and drinking my Protein shakes or soup...so I knew I could resist. :) Gotta remember, it's just fuel.

Good question. Hit the gym in the morning. Then enjoy some low carb yummy foods. Might try a few new bariatric friendly recipes. Looking forward to it.

I am currently running for a State position with the Veterans of Foreign Wars State of Michigan and I have to go to a District meeting about 2 hours away so I don't think I will be able to go to any Super Bowl get together

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
