I am making the whole entire turkey dinner tomorrow for just my husband and me. Homemade cranberries, stuffing, collards and all I can eat is 4 oz of turkey. I will have a taste of stuffing, potatoes, and collards. Guess this will be an 8-pound month. Hubby loves his hot turkey sandwich the next day. I guess this is love.

WOW Collards, . I love them. I cooked them once and everyone turned their nose up at them, and they "stanked" up the whole firehouse. And this is in the deep South.

You are a good wife to cook that,

You're brave. But I think it's sweet that you're doing this for your husband :-)

You are a good wife! I don't even get Turkey yet and told my husband no. Luckily, he's not really in to Thanksgiving so he's excited anout having a hot dog, mac n cheese, and some mashed potatoes (which were are buying ready made as I can't have them, either). I'm hoping next year I can do the works and make up for it!

I can understand if you can't eat you don't cook. I didn't either for about 3 months. Now I only cook when I feel like it, I told my husband he needed to step up and feed himself. He's retired too. I figure I'll have lots of 4 oz. turkey packets in the freezer. I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving.

Good luck to you and enjoy! I remember that is what I had for my birthday "dinner".

My birthday "dinner" was chicken broth after watching my Buckeyes win their game!

My brother is cooking the Thanksgiving dinner this year so I will go get my husband a plate of actual cooked food and hope he can eat it. He does love his turkey!

      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.
