Forgive yourself for Christmas dinner!



Recommended Posts

OK. It's Dec. 26. Time to forgive ourselves for any culinary indiscretions at Christmas. What was, was. Today is a new day for keeping a few days of a food journal, regifting chocolate, and heading to the gym. Hope you all had a happy one.

Thanks all for sharing. Pre-band, it was during this time of year that I would lose myself. Unfortunately, now I have the band I again feel lost. I'm scared about the weight I've put on during the holidays. I didn't just allow myself one day. I've been messing up for at least a couple of weeks.

Thanks for sharing. I'm contemplating getting a fill, so I can get a grip on reality.

Take care everyone.

I'm not banded yet, but was pretty proud of myself with my Christmas eating. Thanksgiving I was AWFUL and felt sick for two days. But, this time, I didn't get seconds at all. Only had one piece of my mom's homeade bread. I did do bad with the homeade christmas Cookies though. I had about 4. But then I had about 5 small sausage balls for the Breakfast. And a piece of fudge. And two small pieces of peanut brittle. and a piece of pecan pie ... all of this throughout the day of course... EEKK.. ok, I did pretty bad, BUT, considering that I use to eat double this before, this is good for me.

I am really proud of myself. I couldn't eat the Christmas ham. I wasn't on red meat yet. but I did have a teaspoon of all the vegetable dishes. I had half a glass of wine and a teaspoon of buttermilk pie. that's it. From December 21 until this morning, I managed to drop 4 pounds!!!! I was in shock when I returned home and got on the scale. I didn't beleive my sister's scale, but my own scale confirmed it. God I love my band!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
