I Beat The Turkey!

[babe58 24]

I had to fix the turkey and dressing today and sweet potatoes! I won! Day 4 of pre op diet! Had my shakes, Vitamins, Water and put up my moms tree while the family are the feast!!! I win!!! My favorite meal is the Thanksgiving meal but I enjoyed my Protein Shake and thankful for my upcoming revision. Who else is on the pre op diet ? My surgery date is Dec 8th.

Good Job!! I am on day 2 of my pre op diet. My surgery date is December 10th! I didn't do any of the cooking my hubby opted to not have the big meal.

We can do this!!!

My boyfriend cooked our meal yesterday. I had turkey with a little bit of homemade cranberry relish (made with sweetener instead of sugar), and green Beans without the crunchy onion topping, I passed on the mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, and dressing. Today, I took the remaining turkey leg and made some bone broth. We folks here on the forum are a creative bunch. I applaud you for making it through while on a liquid pre-op diet.

I am not doing well on pre-op, although I didn't cook at all for thanksgiving and had my Protein Shakes, just everyday is a struggle. I'm also scheduled for 12/8 surgery. LB removal, hiatial hernia fix and sleeve.

Congratulations on winning out! food will still be there after you are sleeved and you will now live to see many more Thanksgivings due to your new healthy life!

Thank you friends. I've found combinations for shaking up my shakes having done the pre op once before 8 years ago for my Lapband I've become a little bit more savy on keeping it interesting. This mornings lovely shake was rinsed mandarin orange, a dash of vanilla flavoring, a smidgins of cinnamon and vanilla Protein. The ninja did the rest. Last night a tablespoon of pumpkin, a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon with vanilla protein. I love to cook so I'm expanding my skills into shakes.

I pray that all are well and taking Vitamins and preparing for our journey on the Sleeve-Train.

I applaud everyone who made it through Thanksgiving on the preop diet!! The diet was hard enough to stick with as it is I feel so lucky to have not had the added pressure of Thanksgiving. I was 8 days out on Thanksgiving and my family kept trying to push all kinds of food on me but I just kept saying no thank you I have my Protein packed yogurt. My mother in law just kept telling me how sorry she felt for me that I couldn't eat dinner over and over. Fianlly my husband told her that this was the whole point of having the surgery and to quit having a pity party that noone wanted to attend. Gosh I love that man
