Yes I have a great support system, but if I didn't because in actuality we have told some members of our family that we were/will be getting the surgery who don't support us. Yet for that matter have never supported us. In addition to this we don't have a lot of family members that are still alive but we ha e been our own support. I think that I you don't have a support system it time to put on your big boy/girl panties and be your own cheerleader for once. You all came on here to desput what I said when its the truth. We are all adults here and its time to be adults. Why can't those on the liquid diet make their own meal experience great. It makes no sense that you all can come on here and get made when you need to support your own selves now. Its time to get real about food and the fact that you got the surgery so you won't keep doing the same dumb crap. So what your family is eating or they don't support you, often times you came into this world alone and you will die alone. You can be your own person with out them. Why don't you all find a support system on here then. And in actuality Thanksgiving is a time for being greatful for what you've got in life a the media and different businesses just made ads that con us into buying all this crap we don't need.

Happy thanksgiving all! Now I know my post might upset or hurt some of you alls feelings but I can no longer keep reading these Thanksgiving post or even the 'Why did i do this' or 'I hate that i did this' crap but I seriously think its time for someone to say something. Because you know why you got the surgery. And I know that its Thanksgiving but you all don't need to be so damn dramatic about it. Now I know that we all have some type or form of food addiction. Me personally I love nothing but Snacks. I am a very picky eater so I have never been that big into "real" food. But when I was younger I would hored snacks on my room. So i know what its like to love and use food/snacks as a crutch for whats going on in our lives. Its even harder being a teen and not having a true locas of control when it comes to eating. My thing is that I think some people are over reacting for nothing because they need attention. I got my surgery on the 14th of this month and It went super easy I didn't have any pain, only discomfort, I have went down to 294lbs(from 323lbs), and I have yet to have head hunger. Because I look to the future of things that I can and will eat. Now I know that not everyone is going to be like me but I think that as a person who has never had a major surgery or even a child I have done a lot better that a lot of the adults on here. A lot of you say why did I do this....that question gets on my nerves because y'all know why you did this. We all took however many months doing this pre-op diet to get to this point because we wanted to feel better and be better people. When you say why did I do this its like you all lose sight of what you want out of this second chance at life. For the whole I hate that I did this...for what...so that you can eat today you will have a billion Thanksgiving's, birthdays, Christmas's, and any other holidays, but you will only have one body. Its time to get healthy now and take your life by the hornes and be a better you!!!! And lastly for Thanksgiving, yesterday my dietitian called me saying that it was just a normal day, and that my family should just not eat what ever they want. When I got off the phone with her I was so mad because I think thats selfish, I think that its okay for them to eat their holiday meal because I know that next year I can eat with them. In addion to this I know that my mom is going to her pre-op meeting next week and that she needs to have her last food funeral, I also know that my older brother has Autism and the only thing that he has in this world is his food, his video games, his TV and his computer. Instead of whining and leaving the room why wouldn't you make some Soup or anything on your list to eat so that you can enjoy your family! My mom made me some Cream of mushroom soup (with some Turkey broth in it) a little bit of apple sauce and a almond joy Protein shake so that I wouldn't be left out. In addition to that she bought me a turkey for later when i can eat because it's a healthy meat. I now that it's hard but we can all be great if we just wait it out and remember that we can eat later, let's all just get through this because it's not the worst battle many of us have been in. And if you don't have support make an inviting post or even seek out help form the other because you feel defeated. You can't give up because you ha e already made the step to do this, and to be a better you! Happy holidays! Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Hey y'all ???? Okay so I want a cup of tea but I have nothing decaf in my pantry yet. Should I drink some still? Also are there any apple cider fans? What do you all drink that has the same appeal as aple cider that has less sugar Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Hey y'all so I finally got to leave the hospital and go home. Now my question for you all is what's the best scale you guys got that's low budget? Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Its a clamp that my doctor helped create that allows them to be more precise with the measurement of how much stomach they take Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone!!!! Today is it I'm about to go to Childrens Hospital to get my surgery y'all.... I only had to do one day of liquids so I can't really complain but I am hungry guys (I just got to the hospital so I am mildly freaking out!?!) I'm not allowed to drink either so that really taking me over... But I know that later in the day it will be worth it! Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App

@@theantichick LOL I really got a kick out of your post... I keep watching YouTube videos where different people keep saying they took a whole bunch of things they didn't need. My mom said the same to me that when she was pregnant with my older brother she took everything but the kitchen sink and then for me she just took half the things and still didn't use any of it. I think I'll do what both you and @fit2fab did and take only a gown,gas x strips,and a charger. Sent from my SM-G360T1 using the BariatricPal App
