We had a great Thanksgiving. I stayed in my PJ's all day. :blush: I did absolutely nothing, well I did watch the Titan's game. :)

Happy Thanksgiving! Well, what we did on our special day was almost get lost on a mountain in the Ozarks. We went for our first mountain bike trip as a family (me, my husband, and four year old on a tagalong). It was supposed to be one hour, 4 miles. We kept going and going and going, then realized we'd better just turn around as we'd already gone 4 miles and there was no end (there was an option to go 8 or 12 miles, and I think we missed the turn off). So we turned around. The sun was going down, we ran out of Water, had NO survival gear, not even jackets. This was not an easy path - very rocky and hard to see with leaves covering it, so no way to follow it in the dark. I prayed to my deceased grandpa and God the whole way that we would make it back to the truck before the sun went down. We finally made it with 1/2 hour to spare - a one-hour trip turned into a four-hour trip. I lost count of the times I fell due to sheer exhaustion. But it ended up being a very, very thankful day. I'm not uber-religious, but I find God usually in nature, and he/she was certainly watching out for us that day. I kept watching the sun go down and just kept praying God stay with me, give us a bit more daylight. It would have been very scary being caught out in the mountains at night with no water or fire. I will never go into the mountains again without the basic survival gear.

Lindata, what a scary experience, especially with a little one with you! So glad you are all OK!!

Shalee, I've been following your PS thread. Glad you're feeling better!

I made Thanksgiving dinner at my house for about 12 people. Even though I sent home leftovers with my guests, we still had a lot leftover. Too much stuffing, yams, and pie did not help my efforts this week.

      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.
