Pre-Op Diet Phases .... has anyone had any trouble with them??

 Well I was just reading my phases real closely w/ the papers she gave me a week ago!   Thought I would be on mushies after 2 weeks!!  So I think this means I will be on the Full Liquid Diet, for Thanksgiving!   Just wanted to be able to have a little taste of Thanksgiving!!

I was 5 months out at Thanksgiving, and it pretty much sucked! I went outside,  kicked rocks, pouted and was pissed off that everyone else was shoveling food down their pieholes while I sat there and ate my 3oz of food. Ya know, Thanksgiving is that one day a year that a fat chick can eat and no one thinks twice about the quantities she's consuming. . . All that wasted energy, being pissed off really proved to be just that WASTED, when I went back inside saw everyone in their stretchy pants, miserable, and needing a nap, I was ready to go go go and had to sit there and listen to them moan over their misery of being "so stuffed".

Cheers to next year, being AT or close to goal, being able to actually ENJOY the food.


And, you can always make Thanksgiving later.

 Thank for not making me feel selfish because I know I'm gonna fell that way somebit!!  But I know this is going to help me tremendosly and I need to do it!!   I will make my whole familly walk with me, if it's not snowing! lol!!

 Can you make a pumpkin shake or something? You know, to just get a taste of Thanksgiving? I feel your pain, although I also wish I were in your shoes and didn't have to wait until spring before I'm sleeved! 

 Thank you,  I have thought about that!  So I wanted to ask my NUT if I could use 100% Pure Pumpkin for a shake or somethin??  I dunno tho??
