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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
