Thanksgiving



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I was banded on Oct 3 and I am feeling great. I am worried about Thanksgiving as I don't want to blow my diet. Does anyone have a sugar free pumpkin pie recipe? I could use a good cookbook. Does anyone know of a lapband cookbook? :clap2:

There is a great pumpkin mousse recipe that is getting me through the holidays. This time of year I crave pumpkin pie so much.

1 large pkg sugar free vanilla pudding

2 cups skim milk

1 cup pumpkin

1 cup fat free cool whip

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning

Mix pudding, pumpkin, and seasoning together. Once blended fold in the cool whip. Then let it chill. I like to seperate it into 1 cup portions & then when I am ready to eat one I crumple up 1 low fat graham cracker and add TBSP of whip cream.

I can't remember but I think it is about 175-195 calories/ serving including graham cracker, and it is so delicious.

Hope this helps!

<p>I just posted one similar to this. I use evaporated skimme4d milk instead of the regular milk. 1.5 weight watcher points per 1/2 cup serving.</p>

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
