Christmas Dinner ~ Post-op

[MindiJean 93]

What are you planning on making/eating? Will you just eat the turkey? Will you make some other high Protein dishes? Will you eat a little of everything?

I plan on mostly having some dark turkey. I am also making a few high protein dishes....a quinoa dish with powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury cheese mix, a brussel sprout with bacon and parmesean, a waldorf salad made with Greek yogurt, apples, barley, walnuts, grapes. Our friend is bringing all the dishes I can't eat...the mashed potatoes, the stuffing, pies.

I had surgery nov 28 of last year. I so looked forward to roasted chicken. I had two ounces and savored it. As far as all you are planning to make, why? You can only eat such a little bit if your doctor allows regular food by then. It was torture for me to prepare food I could not eat at that time.

I was eating pureed before I left the hospital. Have been on soft food for over a week now and will be on regular food by Christmas. I am cooking for my husband and my friends. I can always put leftovers in a container and just heat them up for another meal. Makes my life much easier!

My FIL is making his famous (used to be a professional chef, lucky me) prime rib. Having au gratin potatoes, carrots, peas, and dinner rolls. I'm making Desserts, coconut cream pies and pumpkin cheesecake. dinner for 20.

I plan on savoring a little of everything. Probly pass on the pie, as it's not my fav but I will have a couple bites (very rich, can only eat a couple) of my cheesecake for sure.

Before Thanksgiving I decided to maintain thru the holidays and tackle my last 18 lbs in Jan. That plan is still in action and I haven't gained 1 lb yet (altho I'm amazed everyday when I get on the scale and it hasn't moved up)
