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.

My thanksgiving was Awesome I had surgery the day before!!! I had an amazing view from my hospital bed and a morphine pump, my husband had the picnic basket I had packed for him and watched football, it was quiet except for medical personnel, and memorable.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
