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

      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?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
