I had my surgery 11/18. So far so good. Thanksgiving was different. I was just a couple days into phase 2 diet. I was surprised when all I ate and was full from was a few bites. Today I finally am learning what they say about this being mental change. It was my first day alone all day and boredom hunger crept in. I did good got my fluids (water) in to help subdue that feeling. Then the family came back from day two of Turkey Day with left overs, which included and was mostly desserts. I know I wasn't supposed to but I had a bite of chocolate cake. My wife who had the surgery said hope you don't get sick because of the sugar. I luckily didn't, but feel shameful that I ate that. Hopefully it's a shock of reality that there was a reason I did this... to be here for my wife and kids. Going to stay strong.
