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!!!

      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.
