First Thanksgiving

[leothelion2 3]

My birthday was the day before Thanksgiving so I had a celebratory cupcake. Then the next day on Thanksgiving I had some masked potatoes, little gravy, butternut squash and then later on I did have a brownie and small piece of pumpkin pie...I felt fine but I did feel guilty, especially when I got on scale this morning and I gained 1.5 lbs! I went to gym today but there are so many leftovers in my house...I'm being strong though but that's not to say I haven't been tempted- I wish I could eat like a normal person ...ugh

10 months out and I had a small amount of Turkey,dressing, yams and green Beans. Was the social director of the event so was far to busy to have more than a bit or two of each of those items. Later in the night I did have a small piece of pie. This Thanksgiving was totally different than last year's.

I was exactly 5-weeks out on Thanksgiving and started my "soft foods" stage on week-4. I had about 2-3oz of turkey breast with some gravy, about a 1/4 cup each of green bean casserole and mashed potatoes, then later, a small slice of pumpkin pie, minus the crust end... I ate very slow and did better than I thought.

BUT, I'm a little alarmed by the volume of food I was able to eat 5-weeks out. Was anyone else able to eat this much (about 1-cup of food, total) in one meal at 5-weeks out?

I purposely booked a flight to Europe on Thanksgiving eve, landing thanksgiving day to avoid any temptation. Although hitting up 5 Munich Christmas markets last night was quite the challenge for a foodie lover. I was up for the challenge and did not succumb to temptation, not one bite.

I am four months out and still could not eat that much

I'm 10 weeks out and I can't eat that much, either. I didn't do badly, considering how little I can eat, but I could have made better choices. I had about 2T of turkey with a little gravy (otherwise I can't swallow it, or keep in down without pain) and about 1T of stuffing/mashed potato combined. I also had a smidgen of blueberry pie (a slice about a quarter of an inch wide) from which I only ate the filling, a bite of pumpkin pie (about 1/2 tsp), and some bites of chocolate cake (maybe 1T total). It doesn't seem fair that the Protein, which I enjoy and need more than the sweets, is so hard to eat, but the Desserts seem to slide right down! It's OK, I didn't gain any weight and I'm back "on the wagon," so to speak... the Desserts didn't lead me to any slippery slope or anything!

I think that is fine. You are lucky you are having a good time of it.

My great irrational fear is that my surgeon didn't actually perform the sleeve gastrectomy... I'm following my plan, but it just seems like 1-cup of total food per meal is too much at 5-weeks out. Planning to have a conversation with my NUT tomorrow. Thanks everyone!

Ate, drank, and was merry. All weekend long.

Still limited in amounts. Still at a deficit. Gained 3 lbs of Water weight that will be gone by Thursday.

Had a blast.
