Surgery is the Monday following Thanksgiving.



Recommended Posts

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.

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!!!

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

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
