Thanksgiving.. What to eat.?

[meaganchuckran 7]

Ill be about a month out by thanks giving.. What shouldn't I eat on that day?

What stage will you be on? At four weeks I was on purees and would not have been permitted anything on a standard Thanksgiving dinner table. I probably would have pureed some turkey with gravy and eaten that.

If you are on soft foods, you can probably have a little (non-pureed!) turkey with gravy and a tiny bit of cooked green veggies if you chew them really well.

I'll be 15 weeks by then. Since I dont have room for much I will probably take a spoonful of all my favs, but try to concentrate on Protein (aka Turkey).

Turkey... High in Protein, ,

I will be 2 and a half weeks out on Thanksgiving and my NUT told me to make all day Thanksgiving dinner. I have to eat five meals, so I am to make one smashed sweet potatoes, one turkey blended with broth, one mashed potatoes and gravy, etc. She even said I could have one spoonful of the center of the pumpkin pie.

By Thanksgiving I will be 10 weeks out and I'll have a little bit of turkey, some green bean casserole and a tiny dollop of mashed taters.

I'll also be 5 weeks out at that point. I will be on soft foods. I figure I will have some mashed turkey with gravy in it to make it soft and some green bean casserole.

Maybe some sf Jello later for desert.

I will be 3 months.. I can't wait to have stuffing even though I don't eat bread but we shall see I want to sweet potatoes though yum!

I'll be 4 weeks out on thanksgiving, I hope I am able to eat some turkey at least.

I was sleeved last year on 11/7 and was on puréed food by Thanksgiving. I had turkey puréed with a little gravy. THIS time, it will be over a year & I'm SO looking forward to a taste of all of my favorites.

I already informed my family that I will NOT be preparing Thanksgiving dinner this year. I have been the hostess, cook, financer, and clean up for 12 years now. Since I will only be about a month out I won't be able to eat and enjoy everything I usually fix, so I am on strike. They can have tv dinners, or turkey sandwiches. Next year will be a different ballgame, but this year I am playing it lazy. One year I can sit and watch parades and relax...sounds ok to me!!

I will be on regular foods by then...Turkey and ham with some veggies...hopefully.

My family long since gave up the idea of having our mom slave away in the kitchen for days and we all just go out to eat on thanksgiving and have other people prepare the food!

This is the one and only year that I'm going to count it as a blessing that it is my shift to work this year. We rotate Holidays. I'm going to miss my Grandma's cooking that's for sure. I'll only be 4 weeks post op on Thanksgiving so I'm glad tht I'll be at work.

Now I actually do have a valid excuse to skip family dinner altogether and hit the sales early.
