How is everyone coming along?
I hope that everyone is preparing themselves for Thanksgivihng. I am 4 1/2 years post op and worry a little since I always end up splurging a little too much. Not at one sitting because I can not fit much. But from Thansgiving all the way to New Year is quite a challenge for me.
I hope that everyone has a plan of execution so that the pounds do not creep up on you throughout the Holidays.
Don't forget to always think of protein first drinks lots of fluids... :)
As for the newly post ops know that this is an amazing journey and I wish you all the best.
Have a fantastic day!

my plan is to be careful of the snacking you know taste here taste there. I am glad you mentioned the fluid i really have to get on board with that however that was a problem before surgery. I dont like water and can go days without drinking it. I will use a flavor packet and i have even got tired of them.
I know exactly what you mean. Right now I am hooked on Peach Iced Tea flavor. It's light in flavor and I don't have to water it down to tone it a bit. I used to be hooked on apple but got tired of it.
There are other flavors like green tea metabolism and mango, peach and other flavors. I have tried them as well not too bad I jus****er them down a little bit. I only buy Walmart brand cause I don't like Crystal lite.
I posted a little advice about getting your fluid in daily on the other post.
I plan to have a little taste of everything, I will not deprive but when I say a tablespoon or a teaspoon of this and that that's exactly what I do. I am usually stuffed right away since the turkey for me is always a hassle unless it is super juicy and tender, Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
