Dinner - Skip the drink I would rather eat :hungry:

120 1/2 cup potatoes - 155 4 oz Turkey - 40 1/4 cup Gravy - 25 veggies - Stuffing 1/4 cup 60 c = 400 calories

1/2 slice of pumpkin pie Pie 135

Ok gang just gave you Thanksgiving dinner for 535 calories

and those with restriction most likely couldn't eat all of that food

and if you made the food - like tatos and pie you could reduce the calories futher ...

See it can be done without breaking the band !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am calling myself out. I am still supposed to be on liquids and I ate when I shouldnt have. My pouch did fine but I think I was testing the limits but trying things like piecrust.
