Happy Thanksgiving! It's my favorite holiday and we have a big party every year even though Australians don't have thanksgiving and it is hard to find a turkey that weighs more than 4 kg (8 pounds) here. This year the party was on Nov 16 and we had about 40 friends over. This was my first sleeved Thanksgiving and it was perfect. I got my 50 grams of turkey, a spoonful of everything else I wanted, a couple bites of pumpkin pie and a couple glasses of wine. The leftovers lasted almost a whole week and I never got sick of it and I didn't gain weight (in fact I lost). I really treasures it this year. I feel like I have so much to be thankful for and I am truly blessed to have been able to have VSG and finally start winning the weight battle.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends. Traveling at this point (5 weeks) has been interesting but totally manageable. Had the long travel days, rehearsal dinner, wedding and Thanksgiving with 30+ family members. In all this time, maybe 2 people noticed what/how I was eating. The best/funniest food moment: after eating less than half of my meal at dinner last night, my 26 year old, 6'6" cousin looked over at me and said, "Hey, are you going to finish that?" Hilarious. We switched plates; everyone was happy.

Anyway, I am most thankful for all of your crazy assedes, and look forward to being around more soon.

Happy Turkey Day! A huge hug of appreciation to all of you for holding my hand, answering my questions, listening to my stories and being a huge source of amusement throughout this fantabulous journey. Y'all are a wonderful, totally dysfunctional Internet family and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.

Smooooooooooooch!

lunch rocked. I don't like turkey much so I ate far too many carbs in sides but that said I am sure I ate no more than 2-3 tablespoons of anything. Corn pudding, stuffing, mashed taters, green bean casserole and 1/2 deviled egg. No slimies, no stuffed feeling and I spread it out so much no one noticed how little I had. It doesn't hurt that everyone knows that I don't let my food touch so little scoops far apart weren't totally out of the ordinary.

I ate a little more three hours later for dinner and I'm good for the night! I love love love that the stress of counting points, sneaking bites before dinner, gorging, feeling miserable and then gorging again with all the requisite guilt was eliminated. I enjoyed the conversation more than anyone and left the table happy and satisfied. I feel so fuckeding free!

I'm really not into turkey anymore. I had it for way too many years. My wife made a primer rib roast with a spinach applewood bacon stuffing, horseradish celery root potatoes and a spring mix salad. Everything was great but I could only eat very little of if. I also had a glass of a great Bordeaux. My wife made baked apple dumplings with a caramel hard cider sauce and homemade frozen Greek yogurt. I had a few bites and was good. This is the beginning of my first holiday season since being sleeved in February. I'm am so prepared for whatever the holidays throw at me.

Maybe you need to see your surgeon for a revision.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
