What the Gobble...(Food gatherings)



Recommended Posts

Today I realized that the food festivities are in FULL EFFECT!!! From office luncheons and potlucks, Friendsgiving, Happy Hours...this is all just a warm-up to the Big Event of fine dining and grandiose entertainment and food comas....THANKSGIVING!!!

Today, I chose smoked turkey from Honeybaked as my Protein and very small servings of carbs at our luncheon. I drank Water, I did have cake, I didn't finish it, I took the remainder of it to my dad's house for him to have. Now, instead of going in my kitchen eating that cake I'm going to drink a Protein Shake and go to bed.

Good work! I'm 1 month post-op today and its our office potluck! I volunteered to make the gravy (store bought lol) and to heat up the pre-purchased ham. I don't like ham so it hasn't been hard to stay away.

I'm just going to avoid it all together today.

I bought Sam's Club gravy and mashed potatoes. I also bought one of those cakes, but a few bites was better than a whole cake in my house.

I am on a pre op diet during Thanksgiving.

I had volunteered to make dessert but since I am not eating it I can't deal with the smell of it in my house so I am going to buy a pie this year.

I'm cooking a full meal, but taking the Desserts out as an offering when I visit others. No dessert left behind in my house, just a slice to taste.

We had a Thanksgiving meal at work a few days ago. I put about 2 oz of skinless Turkey on my plate, and about a teaspoon full of several sides on my plate. Huge plate looked pathetically empty... ate the Protein first and then took an hour to finish the rest. Glad I participated without overdoing it. I did skip the rolls and desserts, but I had just enough potatoes and stuffing to feel like I didn't miss out on anything.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
