How Will This Thanksgiving Be Your Healthiest Yet?



Recommended Posts

I'm going out of town and will have TG dinner with my daughter and friends. I plan of having a couple oz. of dark meat turkey and maybe dabble in the gravy :P . Maybe a teaspoon of cranberry (yum), and a bit of veggies. Can't wait! I love Thanksgiving!

I'm thinking about bringing some sparking apple cider- is that loaded in sugar?? I'll skip it if it is.

In the morning I will participate in a turkey day zumbathon/food drive. I have opted to volunteer at a shelter and serve the homeless on turkey day. However I will cook which this year will be Cornish hens, greens, sweet potatoes, pinto Beans, and the fam wants the Mac and cheese.

I am taking care of myself this holidays - not participating in the family Thanksgiving drama. Instead, going on a short trip with a good friend. For Christmas, I will again excuse myself from most of the family drama, and instead be grateful for the many blessings in my life.

My Thanksgiving will include working. I am administrator on call for the hospital that I work for. I am actually thankful for this. I had been passed over for many promotions in the past. I contribute my knew found position not only to my talents, but also to my overall appearance. Don't get me wrong, I will indulge in a thanksgiving feast. However, now it most includes turkey with a few bites of sides. This is so unlike my plates of food in the past. I love my WLS!!!

Enjoying my first thanksgiving at my fiance's family. So excited. I don't even have to cook this year. I'm taking pie for them but it's pecan pie I can't eat and not crazy about anyways. Turkey and green Beans are what I'm having for dinner.

It has already started! We are doing 4 turkeys and a ham this year. Two of the turkeys are given away. Two will be done in an orion cooker (my favorite!) and the other two will be baked. These are atomic buffalo turds. They are halfed jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese that has been spiked with Frank's hot sauce, smoked pulled pork on top and wrapped up with wonderful, glorious bacon! They are in the smoker right now.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
