Are you allowed pudding during this time? If so you could make the following dessert:
Cool Whip Pudding
Introduction
It comes out sort of like mousse!

Beat with electric beater for 2 minutes. Put in the refrigerator for at least two hours. I put mine in individual 1/2 cup serving containers that come with lids so I can take them in my lunch for work. Keeps well for a week; I am thinking about trying to freeze some too.

Don't worry- in a few months you will be able to sit w your friends and enjoy them. You will eat less, but by then you will have learned how to eat for you and how to make it look like you are eating more than you are. Nobody noticed that I had no turkey, and tiny bites of other items. Nobody.
And that b-fast/dinner table will soon become more about love & family than food to you. It's ok to feel like you do, but don't dwell on it for too long. This is the start of lots of good things in your life!!!
Next time, suggest a b-fast party at ihop so you don't have to cook!!! :-)
Hugs!!

Yes, it's true. Also aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve), and any other NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories) because they can cause ulcers. Someone posted a link in another thread to a book about pre- and post-op care that explains this. Here is the link (see pg. 12): http://www.muhealth.org/documents/bariatric/Bariatric%20Booklet%20VSG.pdf

I had mine 11/7 and went back to work today for half day..I wasn't even due until Thursday..ignition is a on your feet job then it would be harder...but I have office job counseling..so I was ok..git tired but manageable tottally!!..I'm grateful.

My surgery is this coming Monday, November 19. I am not nervous yet. Right now I am just mourning food. I know I will miss it so much. I went for my final preop appointment yesterday and my surgery was nearly cancelled because I had gained weight. I have an autoimmune disease (AS) and am in an active flare for which I have been taking high dose prednisone (50 mg taper) since August. Prednisone always packs the pounds on me. Anyway, I had lost the 5 pounds I needed to get the surgery scheduled but since scheduling, I had gained 10 lbs. The surgeon understood my circumstance and agreed to do the surgery still but the NP at his office made me feel totally horrible! I am eating as clean as possible until my surgery to hopefully lose a few pounds. I am now off prednisone so hopefully that will kick start some loss before Monday.
