My surgery date is November 20 - Harrisonburg, VA, and my Dr. requires 2 night stay which means I will go home on Thanksgiving morning. I have laughed at the irony of this all day. I will literally be sipping while the rest of America gorges. I think it is a perfect week to begin my new sleevie life! I also think it will give Thanksgiving a whole new meaning for me and my family! I am hoping that this time next year I will look back on the tough times and appreciate the true meaning of Thanksgiving.

The turkey broth will be yummy though Save some pumpkin pie (minus crust) for the mushies....heh heh

Actually you will probably be enjoying the holiday from the sofa or bed. Hopefully feeling pretty good by then. You can lift a glass of champs though on your one year surgiversary LOL

My surgery date is November 19, so I totally understand where you're coming from. I am a nurse and don't usually get to spend Thanksgiving with my family, so I'm actually really excited to be guaranteed to spend this holiday with them (even if I am just relaxing in my PJs). Next Thanksgiving, life will be completely different for us, I can hardly wait to see where I am a year from now. My family is extremely supportative of my decision and they made a vow to stop making every holiday so much about eating. We are going to incorporate a fun physical activity into every holiday from here on out! Although my closest family members (Mom, boyfriend and siblings) don't struggle with their weight, my cousin and Aunt both just had bariatric surgery. I am very fortunate to have them as a support system!

good luck

My surgery date is the 20th also. I am sooo excited. I bought some Protein last night (comparable to the IsoBlast 800) and am hoping to incorporate it into my lifestyle over the next week & a half, before my pre-op diet starts. The stuff I found is 0 fat, 1g carbs and 27g of protein. Keep me updated on how you're doing :-)

I'm also on November 20th. My doc might discharge me after one day depending on how I'm doing. Plus my mother is an ICU nurse and since she's going to take care of me, I think I'm set. Lol.

My surgery is November 17, everyone keeps asking me how come u don't wait till after the holidays, I'm like why so I can gain more weight. No thanks, I've had a lot of good holidays and this year its time for a new me... It will make me happy.. and that's all that matters...
