Thanksgiving Disapointment



Recommended Posts

I felt so good about preparing the Thanksgiving dinner. Made the whole traditional meal for 4 of us. My daughter was doing a couple of stops and the one before home was 2 1/2 hr behind. She promised not to eat much.

Well by the time I got dinner on the table it was 8 pm. LONG day.

As promised she and her boyfriend came hungry.

I am 5 weeks out from RNY. I was able to avoid nibbling as I cooked. And was hungry when I sat down even though I had done a Protein Shake when I knew they were delayed.

I used a smaller plate and took a table spoon of the food i thought I could tolerate.

Took 1 bite acorn squash and 1 bite of turkey. And I was done- something got stuck.Pain and a watering mouth.

I just sat there and waited and waited , but it didnt pass. Had to excuse myself from the table.

When I came back I just sat and visited everyone looking at my small plate.

Good news is we have lots of leftovers after sending some with the BF. Ill grind up some of the turkey today and make a turkey salad and enjoy it that way.

Turkey is very hard to eat. Everytime I eat it no matter how moist it gets stuck. I am going to cut it baby fine and eat in gravy. If it sticks again I'm swearing off turkey

My Thanksgiving dinner was about the same. I was not able to eat the turkey, and the debunked egg tasted terrible. Had a little dressing and taters. The pumpkin pie even tasted terrible. They were right when they said your taste buds change. ( we ate at noon)

I too started grinding the turkey up yesterday for turkey salad sandwiches. Had a small sandwich for dinner and it was the high light if the day.

This was a very hard thanksgiving for me too! I'm 5 months out and had to spend time in between two families! That means try to avoid 10 cakes and 6 pies. Yeah... I didn't know how to Celebrate without feeling like super full and sick like everyone else.

I enjoy thanks giving. Ate a little of everything & was happy. Even had a tiny piece of sugar free apple pie.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
