Super Bowl LI will be on Sunday, February 5. Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day of the year for pizza delivery, and Americans eat nearly infinite amounts of chicken wings, chips, and beer not to mention dips, Cookies, and fatty meats. The day is even the second biggest eating day of the year after Thanksgiving. That sure does not bode well for weight loss surgery patients!

But you can cope. How are you planning to get through Super Bowl Sunday without doing diet damage? If you are going to a friend’s house, are you going to bring your own Protein Snacks? Are you going to depend on sipping ice Water? Will you host your own party and serve some veggies, fruit, nuts, and Proteins that you can eat? Are you going to entirely avoid any parties?

Share how you will get through Super Bowl Sunday proud of yourself and feeling confident in your ability to party without overdoing it! Also let us know where you are in your WLS journey so we know which foods you can eat!

That's 2 days before surgery..so I am opting to stay home, clean and pack for my flight the next day.

I just had a big family dinner last night and was happy to sit down with my Soup while they had beef burgandy...and sugar free Jello for dessert while they had strawberries and ice cream. My mom said she almost didn't invite me because she didn't want me to struggle with the menu. I had already been with friends and drinking my Protein shakes or soup...so I knew I could resist. :) Gotta remember, it's just fuel.

Good question. Hit the gym in the morning. Then enjoy some low carb yummy foods. Might try a few new bariatric friendly recipes. Looking forward to it.

I am currently running for a State position with the Veterans of Foreign Wars State of Michigan and I have to go to a District meeting about 2 hours away so I don't think I will be able to go to any Super Bowl get together

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
