Surgery is the Monday following Thanksgiving.

[dr3am3rstarz 61]

Anyone having this problem. I start my preop diet next Monday, and I am supposed to lose 6 lbs. Should I just stay home on Thanksgiving? Or any tip and tricks to make the entire day smoother.

What is allowed on your pre-op diet? Some people only have shakes, some can have anything low fat, low sugar, high Protein, lots of variables. Also, if you are losing well then one day of turkey, veggies and maybe a spoonful of stuffing (assuming that is allowed on your plan) is not going to wreck your weight loss.

Are going to be on a total liquid diet?

If you don't think you can handle it then you should try to avoid it. My sister's birthday was two days before my surgery and my family forced me to go out with them to Celebrate. It really sucked watching everyone eating all this food I couldn't have and made me question if I was really ready for this type of surgery and commitment. Good luck!!!

Yeah, I am thinking that will be the best way.

Honestly, don't put yourself in a room with all the thanksgiving food. It's a lot easier to say you won't cheat but it'll be harder when the food is actually right in front of you. My surgery is on 11/14 and I've declined all Thanksgiving invites. However I won't physically be able to cheat but I think I'll be cranky and it'll be worth it to skip one Thanksgiving.

The first time I went out with my family post surgery was awful. I felt so bad afterwards because I was very cranky. Now I'm almost 8 weeks post op so its a lot easier to find something I can eat out.

My surgery is on Dec 5, so I will be on my pre-op diet on Thanksgiving and I am not going this year because I know that if I go my diet will go straight out the door
