How did your xmas dinner go down today

SARAH S

Here comes the new me
My son in law cooked our Christmas dinner (& a fabulous job he did of it too, yum) so I was determined not to make it all about me & what I can & can't eat, so he gave me everything everyone else had, but only about a third as much & I ate everything with no problems at all. We had a starter, again just a small amount but passed on the dessert as my self limiting tum said enough is enough. I can't tell you how happy I am, especially as this morning I had lost 3lbs since the 23rd :D:D I don't drink so don't need to save any calories for this purpose :D xxx


Hi Denise, glad you had a nice Christmas, I'm loving your new profile photo....is that a chin I see:D

I woke up one morning 2 weeks ago and realised I'd lost a chin too x x

I know and I've recently discovered that with a not quite so "over the shoulder boulder holder" on I have a reasonably good shape going on:eek:

Oooh, you go girl ... Can't tell you how happy I am for you :D (& me, lol) You are 2 inches taller than me (& you know what a difference 2 inches makes :eek:) So I may need to lose a bit more before I can say that about myself, lol. My hubby bought me some lovely underwear for Christmas which I had to return today for 2 sizes smaller, bless him. I expect you will be on the beach this coming summer, rather more than your were the past several ones :D:D:D xx

Hubby did me full dinner pureed but I just couldn't eat it at all :cry:
The next day all the family came and I had pureed potato and found I couldn't eat at all that day was like everything was off.

But on a good note I have lost 2st 3lbs in the last 4 weeks :D

Had my op 5th July 2011, Christmas dinner was 3 small pieces of turkey, 1 pig in blanket, 1 sprout, a few slices of carrot, some curly kale & green beans, 1stuffing ball & a couple of tiny roast spuds. Having got this far I couldn't manage anymore. I left everyone else at the table & started loading the dishwasher, & visited the loo either lunch or coincidence the bowels decided they wanted some me time(sorry tmi I'm sure), mum & my eldest cleared the table for me. I served the puds, ice-cream, roulade or Christmas pud with cream etc, of this I had a small slice of Christmas pudding as I'd adapted the recipie using low far/sugar alternatives so I could at least try it with evaporated milk rather than cream.
Table cleared again coffee all round except me I sat feeling more & more uncomfortable realising late on in the afternoon it was the old IBS symptoms just muted a lot compared to pre-op. an extra IBS tablet I only take 1a day these days rather than the 3 pre-op. once this was done things settled wind eased & life was more comfortable.
Tea was a little cold meat & left overs, with a little trifle, followed by a small piece of Xmas cake (again adapted to use low fat/sugar alternatives even in the icing & marzipan).
It took a long time & I was pretty sleepy by then but day done ready for boxing day with the outlaws & a buffet lunch, I don't think I was meant to hear ma in laws comment to my husband about the buffet when he must have commented on its content, that I'd have to pick what I could eat from what was there, her daughter was catered for with foods suitable for her imagined wheat allergy, (she's been tested & got a negative result for the allergy but still has to have wheat free food stuff to satisfy her need for attention), me I ended up picking meat out of sandwiches (2 tiny quarters), the middle from a mini sausage roll, a piece of cheese & a few bits of salad. Luckily I had some fruit & nut mix in my bag as desert was chocolate gateaux or Yule log definite no no's. oh how loved I felt, not! But I'm used to that after 30 odd years of knowing them. My sister in laws mum in law was more interested in what I'd had done than them & why, my niece commented I looked wonderful but not to get to thin as I looked great already, she's such a sweetie despite her mum.
Families don't you just love them.
