What's everyone eating for Thanksgiving?



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 months out and lost 80lbs. I will half a teaspoon of everything and a small piece of turkey.

I will not over eat. After dinner a few hours later I will have a sliver of pumpkin pie. I feel I can do this just for Thanksgiving. I'm also very thankful I had this surgery! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Lucky you! It's only been 8 days after surgery but I'm going to get dressed up, look pretty and try a tiny bit of mash potatoes and fish, applesauce. That's all I can have.

Happy Thanksgiving Guy's! :rolleyes:

I am 6 weeks out and being the Thanksgiving chef, I will probably taste some of everything but that is it. I think I can do it!

I'm just going to eat what we normally eat just in smaller proportions. I'm even going to have a bite or two of candied sweet potatoes (recipe a bit modified of course) and a small piece of pumpkin cheesecake. No regrets for this one day a year. :)

I went to a pot luck early in the afternoon. I had one chicken thigh, and a couple bites of stuffing, corn and mac and cheese. Then way later I had a slice of my cranberry custard pie.

(4 months post op) Did fine, no problems except sweet potato got stuck. Had to let it go so I could eat more. Turkey (any meat for that matter) can easily get stuck for me but did ok this time. It helped that it was just a turkey breast, not the whole turkey, and I think it was processed or something. Made it easier to eat rather than the dry, hard cooked turkey. Tried the ham too but it came already sweetened and I don't do sweetened meats. yuck.
Already on to leftovers! :) YUM
I'm noticing that the more carbs I eat the hungrier I feel. What's up with that??? I finally broke the stall and I noticed I have been eating more carbs than before. I have got to get this all figured out. So frustrating. They stress eating Protein Protein protein and more protein and when I do I don't have any room for the veggies and fruits or anything else. When eating the protiens I wasn't as hungry either, now that I've added the carbs I'm not feeling satisfied and feel like I'm eating too much and too much junk yet I broke the stall and finally losing again. I've also taken a break from exersize this week. Coincidence? I wasn't losing weight when excersizing and when I stop I start to lose the weight.
This is all so confusing. :(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
