My birthday was the day before Thanksgiving so I had a celebratory cupcake. Then the next day on Thanksgiving I had some masked potatoes, little gravy, butternut squash and then later on I did have a brownie and small piece of pumpkin pie...I felt fine but I did feel guilty, especially when I got on scale this morning and I gained 1.5 lbs! I went to gym today but there are so many leftovers in my house...I'm being strong though but that's not to say I haven't been tempted- I wish I could eat like a normal person ...ugh

10 months out and I had a small amount of Turkey,dressing, yams and green Beans. Was the social director of the event so was far to busy to have more than a bit or two of each of those items. Later in the night I did have a small piece of pie. This Thanksgiving was totally different than last year's.

I was exactly 5-weeks out on Thanksgiving and started my "soft foods" stage on week-4. I had about 2-3oz of turkey breast with some gravy, about a 1/4 cup each of green bean casserole and mashed potatoes, then later, a small slice of pumpkin pie, minus the crust end... I ate very slow and did better than I thought.

BUT, I'm a little alarmed by the volume of food I was able to eat 5-weeks out. Was anyone else able to eat this much (about 1-cup of food, total) in one meal at 5-weeks out?

I purposely booked a flight to Europe on Thanksgiving eve, landing thanksgiving day to avoid any temptation. Although hitting up 5 Munich Christmas markets last night was quite the challenge for a foodie lover. I was up for the challenge and did not succumb to temptation, not one bite.

I'm 10 weeks out and I can't eat that much, either. I didn't do badly, considering how little I can eat, but I could have made better choices. I had about 2T of turkey with a little gravy (otherwise I can't swallow it, or keep in down without pain) and about 1T of stuffing/mashed potato combined. I also had a smidgen of blueberry pie (a slice about a quarter of an inch wide) from which I only ate the filling, a bite of pumpkin pie (about 1/2 tsp), and some bites of chocolate cake (maybe 1T total). It doesn't seem fair that the Protein, which I enjoy and need more than the sweets, is so hard to eat, but the Desserts seem to slide right down! It's OK, I didn't gain any weight and I'm back "on the wagon," so to speak... the Desserts didn't lead me to any slippery slope or anything!

My great irrational fear is that my surgeon didn't actually perform the sleeve gastrectomy... I'm following my plan, but it just seems like 1-cup of total food per meal is too much at 5-weeks out. Planning to have a conversation with my NUT tomorrow. Thanks everyone!

Ate, drank, and was merry. All weekend long.

Still limited in amounts. Still at a deficit. Gained 3 lbs of Water weight that will be gone by Thursday.

Had a blast.

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

      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

      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! 😞
