I hope you all have a great time with your friends and family during this time of the year when we give thanks to the many blessings we all enjoy! I thought maybe we could all check back in here after the holiday and report how we did with the temptation of great foods this time year. This is one holiday where food is definitely highlight of the event!

I was actually surprised at how easy Thanksgiving was for me. A little turkey, some mashed potatoes, and a few green Beans. One splurge-a spoonful of my wife's stuffing. While everyone was doing pie, I had some sugar free pudding. A great day!

I got thinking this is kind of a stupid post, most of you are good and restricted and probably don't have to worry about messing up to bad. I'm still coming from a place of no restriction so everyday is still a battle! Anyway, it's good to hear from you, I'm sure even you longtime bandsters have to stay on top of it this time of year........Good luck!

Be prepared. Even with good restriction it's still a battle. Passing on sweet potatoes and pecan pie wasn't easy. Yes, the band does limit quantity, but it doesn't make the tough choices for you. Good luck!

      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.
