Omg. I can't even take the smell. I'm day 5 on the liquid diet for the op tomorrow along with having to take the magnesium citrate. I was fine until the fam started cooking. Now I'm just locked in my room but everytime I run to the bathroom I smell ham in the hallway. Lol What a nightmare! 16 hours and counting. Ugh

I'm 17 days postop and having a rough time keeping things down. We're skipping our usual holiday gathering because I'm sure being around food will make me nauseous!

I had no idea there was such a thing as "Easter holy food."

Hallowed ham? Holy chocolate bunnies? Deviled eggs (but with a name like that, maybe not)?

I promise it will get better. I was you at Christmas time. I was sleeved 12/14/15 and couldn't have solids yet. Made a full turkey dinner for my family but ate yogurt for Christmas dinner.! I actually enjoyed my Easter dinner today, in very very small portions. Next holiday you will too! It will be different, portions are smaller and sweets will probably be avoided. With 2 small children I have a house full of candy but with sleeve power I haven't ate it!

@@ocgirl15, thank you for your kind reply. I'm certain things will get better, and the funny thing about holidays has always been that I'm so busy cooking that I do very little eating. I do always enjoy a deviled egg or two on Easter, though.

Deviled eggs are a great choice for bariatric patients! You won't have wait till next Easter either!

Yeah, I think I can look forward to a deviled egg before I can a bite of ham!

One of my favorites at Thanksgiving is a bite of ham with a bite of turkey, same fork. Something to look forward to!

I meant to say Holiday Food! lol I ain't going to lair I am tasting some stuff but a bite here and there.

I just cooked and served a whole turkey dinner with all the trimmings I'm 7 days pre op and week 3 of liquid diet....was definitely hard but I've been good so far

I'm waiting approval from my insurance but so stinking ready. I ate too much again but kinda used the excuse that it was last big holiday to splurge. Exactly why I'm getting this done. Too many excuses!
