We will all be missing thanksgiving dinner. How are you guys coping with that?

For me, Ive never been a big thanksgiving dinner fan so that day will be fine for me. I think it'll be smaller things like holiday parties w hors doeuvres that'll mess w my head a little lol

Turkey broth?

I'm excited for the changes, more than I'm planning on missing thanksgiving foods.

We're already planning on skipping the big meal and heading to a theme park to walk and not think about it. :) win win.

I'm doing a "friendsgiving" on October 24th. It'll be like my last hurrah before my huge lifestyle change.

My surgeon said I would be on Purred food by then, so I can have a little bit of gravy and mashed green Beans. My mom is purposely making me some broth with shredded turkey.

I'm nervous because it is going to be the first time having a meal with people other than family (my parents are big on not letting others be alone on holidays, so they invited neighbors and people from work).

I'll be a day shy of 3 weeks post op. I'd imagine I'll be in the pureed stage. I won't know till 10/20 what his post op diet includes. If he allows pureed foods, then I'll shred some turkey finely into a Soup. If not, then oh well. I can miss Thanksgiving for 1 year.

I'll be about 3 weeks out too. I'm thinking mashed potatoes or sweet potato casserole? Maybe a little mashed turkey or something.

I'm not too worried about it though...I've done enough thanksgiving binging to last me a decade! LOL

@fab...me too! I've never been more ready in my life for anything like I am about this. I know about 3 people at work who have recently had either the sleeve or bypass and they all say the same thing. It's the best thing that has ever happened to them.

I will be starting my pre-op diet 11/3, having my surgery 11/17, and will be discharged from the hospital 11/19 as long as all goes well. My birthday is 11/20 so surgery really is a gift to myself this year. As a teacher and coach I always put others before myself and I have finally decided that this year it is time to put myself first. With all of my ankle issues I am so very thankful for this opportunity and I am not worried about missing Thanksgiving at all. We are actually celebrating my birthday with my dad's this weekend so that I can start to get into the swing of the pre-op diet early. Hoping to hit 210 or below before surgery! Here's to a happy and healthy November!

I am looking for opinions on Tijuana and Dr Kelly. I had a consultation today with him and was impressed but was taken back by the cost. I want to have it done at Hospital Angeles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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?
      Thanks
