Camprn25 8 Posted November 23, 2012 I felt so good about preparing the Thanksgiving dinner. Made the whole traditional meal for 4 of us. My daughter was doing a couple of stops and the one before home was 2 1/2 hr behind. She promised not to eat much. Well by the time I got dinner on the table it was 8 pm. LONG day. As promised she and her boyfriend came hungry. I am 5 weeks out from RNY. I was able to avoid nibbling as I cooked. And was hungry when I sat down even though I had done a Protein Shake when I knew they were delayed. I used a smaller plate and took a table spoon of the food i thought I could tolerate. Took 1 bite acorn squash and 1 bite of turkey. And I was done- something got stuck.Pain and a watering mouth. I just sat there and waited and waited , but it didnt pass. Had to excuse myself from the table. When I came back I just sat and visited everyone looking at my small plate. Good news is we have lots of leftovers after sending some with the BF. Ill grind up some of the turkey today and make a turkey salad and enjoy it that way. CAMP 1 Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am going to cut it baby fine and eat in gravy. If it sticks again I'm swearing off turkey 1 BBdoodle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PoppyAnn 7 Posted November 23, 2012 My Thanksgiving dinner was about the same. I was not able to eat the turkey, and the debunked egg tasted terrible. Had a little dressing and taters. The pumpkin pie even tasted terrible. They were right when they said your taste buds change. ( we ate at noon) I too started grinding the turkey up yesterday for turkey salad sandwiches. Had a small sandwich for dinner and it was the high light if the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwiladydee 402 Posted November 24, 2012 This was a very hard thanksgiving for me too! I'm 5 months out and had to spend time in between two families! That means try to avoid 10 cakes and 6 pies. Yeah... I didn't know how to Celebrate without feeling like super full and sick like everyone else.

TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted November 25, 2012 I enjoy thanks giving. Ate a little of everything & was happy. Even had a tiny piece of sugar free apple pie. 1 Clairpooh reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
