Thanksgiving Dinner



Recommended Posts

I am 21 days post-op and able to eat soft, moist foods.

I have a whole house full coming for dinner.

I am cooking all the regular fixins.

I will eat the turkey with a little gravy, sweet potato, roasted squash, cranberry, and a taste of pie.

I will not eat mashed potatoes, rolls, stuffing, pie crust, peas, corn.... appertizers ect.

Its the company ( family and friends) that counts!

eat the usual stuff just cut small chew chew chew.

Be careful because we like to socialize and forget not to take small bites and chew

Protein first

Happy Thanksgiving

I am making sweet potatoes and a broccoli casserole to take to our dinner. I'm still on full liquids, but I'm going to take a small portion of the potatoes and put extra milk in and artificial sweetener and put in a little ramekin for myself. I'm going to try to do the same thing with the broccoli (sans the rice) and put it in my blender and see if I can get it close to liquified. Just tiny, tiny, runny portions for me today.

And I'm going to remember my mantra: Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!!!

some of everything.... and that's a lot :wacko:. We have quite a spread, but I will have a bite or two of each thing, maybe a little more stuffing. Dessert is where the problem will come in with pies and that Homemade Ice Cream!!! Uff. Enjoy it all in moderation. Happy Thanksgiving!

cooking small potions only have a turkey breast. I have a young male coming over so I am hoping he will eat everything that is left. For me a bit of everything including pie I bought a small two serving apple pie and will have a small piece then freeze the rest for Christmas. That is the plan I will let you know how I did. If it works we will do it again Christmas if no then Chrismas is canceled.

3 weeks out and I'm planning on having a little of everything. It's of course my favorite holiday and I don't want to deprive myself or I'll indulge later. Of course I'll skip the rolls and the stuffing but definitely eat the turkey mixed with gravy first and then a little sampling of all of the other yummy stuff! I'll probably skip dessert and just go for the cranberry sauce. I'm not loving sweets lately, and this is coming from a pastry chef! ;) Happy Thanksgiving!

first, Happy Thanksgiving to all. Not to be corny, but I am soooo thankful for my surgery and this chance to live the life I've imagined, and also so thankful for everyone who shares and cares on LBT. What an awesome support system..

14 days out - Protein Shakes and maybe turnips, applesauce for me. Like all, company matters most! Enjoy!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
