For the Benefit of Pre-Ops: DSers, what are YOU eating today??

I am seven weeks out.  I did not eat a lot, but I had a little of all of the following at Bucca di Peppo:

Fried Mozzeralla
Chicken Satlimbocca - chix w/prosciutto, artichoke hearts, lemon butter sauce, and capers
Meatballs w/ marinara
2 bites of Tiramisu

the first surgeon I saw told me I should have a ds , then 12 others all very popular on this forum weaseled out of doing it for me, either I was too light weight, or high risk, or the reflux issue too high,,, so over six years I went to the best doctors, insurance got better and ten days ago I got my ds under my fundiplication by one of the real Artist of the DS.   DON'T SETTLE.  

Congrats! we share the same affinity for Dr A! I did not have the hassles with Dr's and insurance that you did - but I have come to hold Dr A and his staff in high regard.  I had my own pre-op red-tape and ever since I took a large part in cutting through it, the staff goes out of their way to help me with whatever I need.

btw - I had smoked chicken, mashed potatoes, white gravy, corn (little bit - this upsets my tummy still), a whipped cream/grapes salad and the fillings and pecans off a piece of pie - I'm not quite 4 months out,so this was all in small amounts, but still - it all tasted WONDERFUL.  I may venture out with leftovers to a BITE of the Hawaiian rolls we always have with butter... a whole roll wouldn't work for me yet, but they are sooooooo good!

Dinner was:

Deep Fried Turkey
Roasted Turkey w/gravy
Sausage Stuffing
Corn
Green Bean Casserole
Corn Casserole
Mashed Potatoes with loads of butter
Cheesy Potato Casserole
Cole Slaw
Biscuit

Dessert was:

Carmel Apple Pie à la mode
Banoffee Pie
Brownie Cream Cheese Pie
Pumpkin Pie
Sweet Potato Pie


And YES I did have some of EVERYTHING ... at 2 years out I can eat a normal size plate of food ... desert was about an hour after dinner so I was ready to go again :)    I'll be back to higher protein choices tomorrow :)

I MY DS!

 This post maid me happy because I did not think I would be able to eat normal food at Thanksgiving after surgery because I thought the dressing would have to many carbs or would cause gas.  I had prepared myself to not get to eat it.  Thanks for the hope.

Oh, I'll have my share of gas tonight! But I figure hey, I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow, and besides, the worst of it will be overnight and Mr. EN is pretty immune to it.

Also, for those of us who will be heading out of the house early (I'll be driving to the mall around 2:30, I think), toxic gas is an EXCELLENT and non-violent way to beat back the deal competition :D

BWAH!!! I wouldn't have the guts to do that, but then again, I wouldn't do the camp out for Black Friday thing anyhow :-p.

I love it!!

Hmmm...here's what I had today:

Breakfast:  Crustless quiche made with tons of cheese, bacon, and spinach
First Dinner:  Turkey & gravy, mashed sweet potatoes slathered with butter, deviled eggs, waldorf salad, meat/cream cheese/onion & pickle rollups, corn pudding slathered with butter
Snack:  pumpkin pie with lots of whipped cream
Second Dinner:  Turkey & gravy, corn bread stuffing, homemade apple sauce, and more waldorf salad

It's only 8:00, so I'll probably eat some more of something before I go to bed for the night - there's some of mom's homemade apple pie, more turkey, corn pudding, and stuffing....mmmmm....LOL

I hope everyone enjoyed their day!  :)
