Question:
How did your holiday eating go?

After seeing all the questions about new and other post ops can or should eat I am wondering how it went for all of you? <P> Hopefully you didnt get ill at the table, but no matter what lets hear how it went. Next year for Christmas people can see how it went for you. A excellent addition to the library. Happy holidays!!!!    — bob-haller (posted on December 26, 2002)

I cannot remember a holiday or family get-together where at least half the day wasn't spent in the kitchen cooking. This year was no exception, only we ate a lot of protein-rich foods. With my family's support, we had crab dip, salmon dip, the faked potatoes, Chilean Sea Bass, Scallops (both done on the grill in true Florida style!) the cream-cheese cupcakes, scrambled eggs for breakfast and bacon (I had half a piece and didn't enjoy it!) I didn't overeat and I felt so satisfied! The only thing I "missed" was the cocktails my brother mixed, but I solved that by dipping my finger in and touching my tastebuds, so I got to experience the flavor without the booze, calories or carbs! To top it all off, I stepped on the scale this morning and I am down to 245 (from 285!) So while my co-workers are whining about their over indulgences and how much weight they've gained, I can relish in the fact that I am in my "skinny" jeans (size 22 down from a 26/28) and looking great!

I was so happy that I didn't overdo it this year. Being over 2 years post op - I sometimes find myself eating more than I should. I've learned to listen to my body and when it says "STOP" then I usually stop. This year I enjoyed a taste of almost everything. Unbelievably I wasn't too tempted by the dessert table. I had a bit of dump cake (fat free cool whip - angel food cake - strawberries) and that was it. I didn't feel overstuffed and just that NOT overstuffed feeling was wonderful! I never let my guard down. I know food is still a big issue for me but this year the holidays didn't do me in and it was a terrific feeling!

Christams Day was "open house" at our home - and that meant lots of food and beverages. I am just over 3-months post-op, and have lost about 80 lbs. I think I learned what "grazing" is. Never really feeling "full" all day - I think I sampled just about everything, including sweets. I also had a few alcoholic beverages (my first since surgery)through the day. Now, I'm wondering what's the big taboo about an occasional drink. I had no apparent ill effects - and actually felt pretty damn good. I offer this as a bit of therapy for those who may have an ill advised indulgenge. Enjoy it... forgive yourself... and move on. You're doing great.

Well I can agree with the previous poster, I now know what grazing is. I did that for our office christmas party, but thank god the Dr. I work for brought in shrimp and I brought cheese and summer sausage, so I munched on that mostly. However for Christmas -- I ate left over cornish hen for breakfast. Sugar free oatmeal cookie. 2 oz turkey with couple bread and butter pickels. Then dinner was hen, potatoes, 1/2 dinner roll, green beans and couple beets. So needless to say it was all wonderful and no quilty feelings.

Well I really screwed up Thanksgiving as we ate out. Although I only ate about six small bites of a hot meatball sandwich, I did order a glass of regular pop for a treat. It had a free refil so in not wanting to waste my money I tried to drink both. I was in agony and would have vomited for relief had I had an opportunity to without the other patrins hearing me. (Did'nt want to ruin anyones lunch). But on Christmas day we ate at my brothers and I was a "good little boy". lol I had just the smallest portion of ham, scalloped corn and scalloped potatoes. About an hour before lunch they had crackers, cheese and the most wonderful cornbeef (sour cream?) and dill dip with rye bread. I did eat alot of this but no where near what I would have liked as I new it would hurt dinner. Plus I had (over a couple hours time) a wegman's diet giner ale. About an hour after lunch I took a sliver (and I do mean a silver so thin it would hardly hold up) of my homemade REAL cheese cake and another sliver of my homemade pumkin pie. I must admit, at this point I was getting uncomfortable, not not unbearable. It was very difficult to see the big plates of food my family had, HOWEVER this was the only year I remember that they all ate light. Perhaps my eating lighter is rubbing off on the family. ;)

My hubby and I went to my sisters house and she had all kinds of goodies lying around. I did eat 3 sausage balls over about an hours time. (I would have eaten the cookies but I dump easily). I ate a little ham, 2 deviled eggs, and a couple of spoons of green beans and potato salad for lunch. I then had a small slice of "no sugar added" pumpkin pie for dessert. Later that evening before bed I had another slice of pumpkin pie. AND I DO NOT FEEL GUILTY. I had this surgery to help control portion size, not to always be on a diet of deprivation. Been there, done that, and it never worked before. Lap/RNY - 6/11/02, 112 lbs lost.

Thanksgiving dinner went really well. I ate the dressing (made with sausage) for lunch. That is my favorite part of the meal. At dinner I ate a tiny bit of baked yam, turkey and bread and butter pickles, and a half a small biscuit. I made a sugar free p[umpkin cheese cake, but I immediately threw up after I ate a small slice. I tend to dump on butter and rich fatty things not sugar. I think that even though it was sugar free, it was just too rich. Christmas was a bit harder. I wanted to eat more than I could and felt frustrated off and on. I ate more turkey and less of anything else for this meal. I had two bites of Waldorf salad, two bites of stuffing, one brussel sprout and about 3 ozs turkey. I made a lunch out of the snack foods...triscuits, cheese, onion dip and a few baby carrots. I baked again for Christmas and ate a sliver of sugar free pumpkin pie which went down fine. I also made otameal raisin cookies and ate three of those. They went down really well. When the evening cravings came, I did several things to help. I made a coffee with daVinci sugar free caramel syrup. I drank sweetened peppermint tea. Finally, I just ate three more oatmeal cookies, felt full but guilty. Today I am not beating myself up but I am back on track. I do think I will wait until tomorrow to get on the scale though:)

I had a really enjoyable Christmas. My parents are here and my mother doesn't eat a lot of sugar because she is borderline diabetic and my dad knows better than to complain ;) so we had a low-sugar celebration. For Christmas eve, I made a roast and veggies (new potatoes, carrots, onions, and white squash) with cream puffs for dessert (believe it or not these are low sugar--only 2 grams a piece). I had a couple of pieces of chocolate as I played Santa, but nothing to break the bank. For Christmas lunch, I cooked a spiral-sliced ham (ix-nay on the aze-glay, thank you--it was full of sugar), sweet potatoes, lima beans, and collard greens (hey, I'm from Arkansas, OK?). For dessert I made a low-sugar pumpkin pie (only 1/2 cup of fructose) that was pretty darn good although I think I will use 3/4 cup next time. I had two small slices of the pie, but didn't feel hungry for most of the day. The ham was good but to be honest I really didn't care much about eating all day yesterday. Oh, well. Sometimes that happens. It was a 14 pounds ham so I will be enjoying it for a LOOOOOONG time to come! ;)

I know my last post was long, but I did want to add something about the difference between this holdiay eating and that of past years. I am 4 months out from lap rny this year. I did give in somewhat to temptations. But ate nothing like in the past. I allowd myself to eat some baked things this year...over the three days about 8 cookies and a sliver of pumpkin pie. Some sugarfree, some not. I ate no candy and had no eggnog. I didn't feel deprived except for wanting to eat more than I could for Christmas dinner and later in the evening. I decided ahead of time to enjoy some carefully selected "treats" over the two day fest. I think it went pretty well. In years past it would have been a continual binge of eating...and I would have felt so horrid the day after, like a food hangover. This year I feel fine, have no bloating, headache etc etc. What a difference. So for pre-ops, it does work out. You don't have to feel deprived, you can have a little of just about anything you want and enjoy your holiday festivities.

I did Xmas much better than Thanksgiving, when I thought I was going to just about die from overstuffing. Christmas is not my holiday, but I was "adopted" by friends to celebrate yesterday. I munched a little before hand, on celery and carrots and dip and a few nuts. THen for dinner I had a few spoonfuls of soup, followed by a small piece of roast beef, a forkfull or two of very delicious green beans, two baby carrots, and about a tablespoon each of mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole. The last two were quite a treat as I usually don't indulge in carbs. With all that I was a bit full after but didn't feel overly full or sick at all. Let's say, Very satisfied. I am ten months out and wonder sometimes if I am eating too much, but then I look over at the plates of others around me and realize that I am still eating far, far less than regular people. I had one cookie after dinner, which wasn't all that good and a few cold, red grapes that were amazing. All in all, I did very well. I ate everything that everyone else ate, just a lot less. I enjoyed every minute of it and have no guilt. ~Paula M. Open RNY, 02/14/02, down 151 lbs.

Bob, I must say Christmas was allot better then Thanksgiving, on Thanksgiving, I thought I would be a good girl and eat turkey and ham, ya know protein first, how-ever I did something I regrets I decdied to dip the turkey into the gravy, un-known to me until after the fact that the gravy was grease laiden... I vomited so hard on Thanksgiving... I vowed I wouldn't do that again on Christmas, with that, on Christmas I only ate Ham, a little bit of oysters on crackers and pop corn for dinner..... ya I know a little strange, but I didn't fill myself up and I stayed away from everything that looked deliciously greasy !!, My parents are itilian and mom cooks everything with Oilve oil.... Gotta say I made better choice this Holiday !!.... Looking forward to another Holiday, next week, but am surronding myself with family and making that the main course of entertainment rather then celebrating "Food" Post op 7 months down 103 pounds, (Still 40 pounds to goal)

Bob, I am only two weeks post-op and Christmas wasnt really all that hard. We had Christmas Dinner at my house and I even cooked alot of things.....including desserts. The ONLY thing that really bothered me was breakfast Christmas morning...GO FIGURE... all the other good foods and it was the breakfast. We sat down to eat and I was being so good and eating my Malt-O-Meal and then it hit me. Everyone around me is eating eggs with biscuits and sausage gravy. I am trying to convince myself that I am getting just as full as they are and I would be ok. Then I jolt from the table and freak out telling everyone that they dont even know how to eat scrambled eggs. Not ONE person had gravy on their eggs!!!!! I told them they didnt even know how to eat. They all just looked at me and I felt kinda stupid. But I just couldnt believe it. LOL For the rest of the day when I would walk in a room everyone was becoming a closet eater. I told them I was ok and they could get out of the corner. I dont even really like eggs but I know that when the time is right I will eat my eggs with sausage gravy........

I was 6 weeks post RNY at Thanksgiving and I think I ate too much and had some things that I wasn't quite ready for (broccolli). I threw up like crazy. Now at Christmas and just over 2 months post-op, I did do my best with eating protein first, drinking water, and avoiding carbs and that went well. I did feel stuffed from the ravioli (I only had 3) but this and the salad were the only things served for dinner at the in-laws. Since this is my first 'cheating' since surgery (and unlike a binge, this was scheduled!), I'm letting it go and moving on. It's nothing like it would have been a year ago - eating all day, feeling horrible physically and emotionally - so I'm thrilled.

I'm over a year post op but I fixed a big plate of macoroni and cheese, turnip greens, turkey, and yams, It was delicious, Only thing is that I only could eat a spoonful of each... Seems like after all this time I still think I could eat a lot like I used to but I could only eat about a 1/2 cup full . My head hunger still hasn't caught on to this surgery. I still had a great time, and yes I was satisfied....I can eat like a normal person or perhaps a normal child. Anyway ,Happy Holidays All.....

Everyone else on here seems to have done so well. For the meals I did good, I measured my food, ate the protein first and then the rest. As far as the candy I was a goner. I don't dump with a little chocolate so I did have some of my favorite candy that my mom made. They are ritz crackers with peanut butter in the middle, dipped in chocolate. I didn't get sick. I am having a hard time the past couple days as I haven't eaten that many carbs in one day and now feel like I want to eat them all the time. I am jumping back on the wagon and going back to the right way of eating. I still feel pretty good about it though. I figured my calorie intake was still only about 1800 calories. Although much higher than I have been averaging, before surgery one of my holiday meals was probably twice that much. (Lap RNY 7-22-02 -107 #)

hi everyone! hope your holiday was great! :) i have had 3 huge parties so far, and thankfully did very well. i stuck to mostly turkey, cheese cubes and some nuts that were placed out as a dish and some veggies and dip. i did very good resisting the sweets concidering there were about 50 pies laying around. went to hubbys work party and there were meat and cheese apetizers but by the time the actual dinner was served, the whole thing had to be doggy bagged and everyone was looking at me like "why isnt she eating" oops! hehe ;)

I had a delicious protien shake and went for a walk while my family ate till they were comatose. I am only three weeks out so I am trying hard not to cheat on the liquids only of the recovery period. Cheers!

It went wonderful. My oldest daughter Joana is here visiting. I told her what ever she wanted for dinner I would cook. I cooked Collard Greens, Corn Bread, Macaroni and Cheese, Candied Yams, and Fried Chicken. I ate a little bit of everything at different times of the day. Notice I said a little bit, but it didn't bother me in the least bit. Oh I forgot, I even made No bake homemade Cheesecake. YUMMY YUMMY!!!!! I'm a firm believer if you want something, you should have it, just in very very small portions. Overall we had a wonderful Christmas dinner. God Bless each of you as you continue to travel the best journey of your life.

Happy Holidays Bob! Although I wasn't on my "best" behavior during the holiday, I feel that I maintained control of my eating rather than the old days when the eating controlled me. I had my very first ever piece of pecan pie which was wonderful--it was a very small piece. I also had some mamosa's at the party I attended. The scale is still going down so I am very happy! God Bless

I ate what everyone else ate during the holidays. I don't dump on anything, so I enjoyed cookies, pies and cheesecake and didn't worry about it. Stepped on the scale this morning and was down 3 pounds from two weeks earlier, so I guess I wasn't quite as bad as I thought. I did stay away from the starches - potatoes (just a spoonful), sweet potatoes (again, just a spoon) etc. I did have a roll now and then, and No Sugar Added Low Fat Breyers icecream (YUM!!-only 12 carbs per serving!!). Of course, I don't keep this stuff in my house, but my mom eats it all the time. she's 6' tall and weighs 120 pounds. The woman has never been fat, but she is extremely supportive. I did find out that I can't tolerate pumpkin pie...but it was a wonderful holiday and I didn't overeat too much!!

Hi Bob, well, am I the only one that gained this year? Or just the only one who will admit it? It was only a pound, but the guilt is upon me! Leading up to X-mas, we have had plates of goodies in the kitchen at work for weeks, and I admit, I have indulged in a little bite here and there..yes, we can call it grazing! Then add in a few holiday parties, a few alcoholic drinks, and the X-mas eve party and X-mas day dinner (like Paula M, its not my holiday but I get adopted by some pretty cool friends every year). As usual, the desserts are my downfall.. I guess I should be thankful that its only 1 pound and not the average holiday gain of 5-7. Anyways, the guilt works and I was on my treadmill last night and back to Chef salads for lunch...

Oddly enough, I haven't done too badly this week, thru the Xmas dinners and all, but last week was a bust. I measure myself by the Weight Watchers Points system and find that I still exceed my daily range (22-27 points) by anywhere from 4-5 points a day...and it's really odd to me, considering my stomach is supposedly flea-sized now. Anyway, I made an Xmas eve dinner that I was quite proud of - bacon stuffed turkey, chipolte cheddar mashed potatoes, maple roasted acorn squash, homemade cranberry relish, stuffing, chocolate raspberry cheesecake and pumpkin pie. Why was I proud? Well, (a) everyone raved - perhaps they noticed the sweat dripping from my brow; (b) I hadn't cooked in forever, and somehow managed not to burn the kitchen down; (c) I hadn't already eaten half of everything, test tasting it before it got to the table, and (d) I did not suffer that post-dinner bloated, beached whale feeling we all know and love. Like everyone, a few bites of everything, and I was done. I still think in general I eat more than I "should" though, and it's those blasted WW points fault!

Well, (a) everyone raved - perhaps they noticed the sweat dripping from my brow; (b) I hadn't cooked in forever, and somehow managed not to burn the kitchen down; (c) I hadn't already eaten half of everything, test tasting it before it got to the table, and (d) I did not suffer that post-dinner bloated, beached whale feeling we all know and love. Like everyone, a few bites of everything, and I was done. I still think in general I eat more than I "should" though, and it's those blasted WW points fault!

Oddly enough, I haven't done too badly this week, thru the Xmas dinners and all, but last week was a bust. I measure myself by the Weight Watchers Points system and find that I still exceed my daily range (22-27 points) by anywhere from 4-5 points a day...and it's really odd to me, considering my stomach is supposedly flea-sized now.

Oddly enough, I haven't done too badly this week, thru the Xmas dinners and all, but last week was a bust. I measure myself by the Weight Watchers Points system and find that I still exceed my daily range (22-27 points) by anywhere from 4-5 points a day...and it's really odd to me, considering my stomach is supposedly flea-sized now. Anyway, I made an Xmas eve dinner that I was quite proud of - bacon stuffed turkey, chipolte cheddar mashed potatoes, maple roasted acorn squash, homemade cranberry relish, stuffing, chocolate raspberry cheesecake and pumpkin pie. Why was I proud? Well, (a) everyone raved - perhaps they noticed the sweat dripping from my brow; (b) I hadn't cooked in forever, and somehow managed not to burn the kitchen down; (c) I hadn't already eaten half of everything, test tasting it before it got to the table, and (d) I did not suffer that post-dinner bloated, beached whale feeling we all know and love. Like everyone, a few bites of everything, and I was done. I still think in general I eat more than I "should" though, and it's those blasted WW points fault!

Well, (a) everyone raved - perhaps they noticed the sweat dripping from my brow; (b) I hadn't cooked in forever, and somehow managed not to burn the kitchen down; (c) I hadn't already eaten half of everything, test tasting it before it got to the table, and (d) I did not suffer that post-dinner bloated, beached whale feeling we all know and love. Like everyone, a few bites of everything, and I was done. I still think in general I eat more than I "should" though, and it's those blasted WW points fault!

Oddly enough, I haven't done too badly this week, thru the Xmas dinners and all, but last week was a bust. I measure myself by the Weight Watchers Points system and find that I still exceed my daily range (22-27 points) by anywhere from 4-5 points a day...and it's really odd to me, considering my stomach is supposedly flea-sized now.

Oddly enough, I haven't done too badly this week, thru the Xmas dinners and all, but last week was a bust. I measure myself by the Weight Watchers Points system and find that I still exceed my daily range (22-27 points) by anywhere from 4-5 points a day...and it's really odd to me, considering my stomach is supposedly flea-sized now. Anyway, I made an Xmas eve dinner that I was quite proud of - bacon stuffed turkey, chipolte cheddar mashed potatoes, maple roasted acorn squash, homemade cranberry relish, stuffing, chocolate raspberry cheesecake and pumpkin pie. Why was I proud? Well, (a) everyone raved - perhaps they noticed the sweat dripping from my brow; (b) I hadn't cooked in forever, and somehow managed not to burn the kitchen down; (c) I hadn't already eaten half of everything, test tasting it before it got to the table, and (d) I did not suffer that post-dinner bloated, beached whale feeling we all know and love. Like everyone, a few bites of everything, and I was done. I still think in general I eat more than I "should" though, and it's those blasted WW points fault!

Well, (a) everyone raved - perhaps they noticed the sweat dripping from my brow; (b) I hadn't cooked in forever, and somehow managed not to burn the kitchen down; (c) I hadn't already eaten half of everything, test tasting it before it got to the table, and (d) I did not suffer that post-dinner bloated, beached whale feeling we all know and love. Like everyone, a few bites of everything, and I was done. I still think in general I eat more than I "should" though, and it's those blasted WW points fault!

Oddly enough, I haven't done too badly this week, thru the Xmas dinners and all, but last week was a bust. I measure myself by the Weight Watchers Points system and find that I still exceed my daily range (22-27 points) by anywhere from 4-5 points a day...and it's really odd to me, considering my stomach is supposedly flea-sized now.
