Thanksgiving will be a perfect day for mushies. Stuffing, just don't make it chunky, deviled eggs, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoe casserole. Yum. I'm jealous. I won't be eating hardly anything except some turkey and a little dressing.

Oh, I have a great recipe. Tastes a lot like mashed potatoes, without all the carbs.

Mashed cauliflower

2 pound head of cauliflower, cut into florets (about 8 cups)

2 tbs. sour cream

2 tbs. heavy cream

1 1/2 tbs. butter

Salt & peper to taste

Boil cauliflower in salted Water for 10-12 minutes, until tender. Drain. In batches in food processor, process until smooth. Add sour cream, heavy cream, butter and S&P.

Serve with your favorite dinner. When I first heard of this recipe, I thought ew, but once I made it I said Yummy! I think the next time I make it I will add a little bit of the dried ranch dressing/seasoning mix to give it a ranch flavor.

filling for buttermilk pie, mashed butternut squash, pumpkin pie filling, mashed potatoes with gravey, Jello, applesauce, whipped sweet potatoes, souffle, flan, creamed spinach, quacamole, salmon mousse, curried deviled egg filling, brocolli cheese Soup. Be creative and don't worry about tradition this year...

i know you said you have a can of cranberry sauce, but if you get fresh cranberries, fresh cranberry sauce is way better. and you can tweak it to your liking. i like to add a splashe of prange juice while is cooking, and a couple of orange slices. it's a bit hit in my hourse, and only takes 10 mins to make. there's a recipe on the back of the cranberry bag.

This is one of the biggest complaints following band surgery. It will pass, but not too much you can do about it. Walk... that helps!

      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. 🤞
