Thanksgiving

[jenlovestim 11]

I will be on soft foods for Thanksgiving and do not want to even attempt traditional dessert. What is a "dessert" dish I could bring to eat?

pumpkin pudding? You could probably even have pumpkin pie without the crust.

beachgal posted her crustless pumpkin pie with extra Protein recipe that I will be trying this turkey day.

My boyfriend is not a big fan of pumpkin, so he usually makes a homemade cheesecake.

You know what? That damn search feature doesn't always work, isn't always easy to use and sometimes it is okay for people to ask their own question as that is the entire point to being a member on a discussion forum. If all anyone ever did was "use the search button" there would be almost zero point to being a member, contributing and helping make this website what it is.

some custard based pies without the crust would probably be good

a simple sugar free strawberry pie....make a pack of sugar free strawberry Jello according to the box directions and put it in the fridge. When it is about halfway set mix it with half a tub of sugar free cool whip. You can pour this into a pie crust and let it set, or pour it into individual cups as a "mouse"

If you go to the search button, next to it is a funky type of circle. Click that. It is the advanced search. If you put in thanksgiving there, you can find > 1000 responses. It doesn't work if you go to the regular search, you have to do the advanced search.

pumpkin egg custard is a good one that you could try if make with stevia or Splenda. And because of all the eggs it is protein!

make pumpkin pie filling and add bisquik to the filling. it taste like pumpkin pie with crust without any solids. I am tryin a stevia, fat free filling for just me. my family are all skinny so will be enjoying full fat and sugar items

There are at least THREE Thanksgiving threads now.

Just saying.

@@jenlovestim Something with sweet potatoes. OMG now I want custard!! I'm staying out of these food post! Ha!

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

I made sweet potato in the microwave this week and it was pretty soft.

sugar-free pudding with pumpkin and Protein powder would be good.

[jenlovestim 11]

Thanks everyone! I understand there might be different threads about Thanksgiving but the ones I found were 1) for all types of surgery and I'm gastric bypass 2) on regular food and I'm on soft foods and 3) I was looking for dessert to bring to our hosts. 4) And I'm new here. On that last note, let's be sensitive to newbies. I just left a FB group because the vets were being mean and insensitive to newbie questions. We newbies are overwhelmed and emotional.

Thanks again for the responses!

I've seen both sides of the coin. Vets see a lot of the same things over and over because there are a lot of people who don't search, they just want an answer and won't do the work for themselves. They also don't know what your situation might be unless you tell them specifics such as I searched for X here and didn't find it. That's why I made the suggestion that I did.

It depends on how far out you are from surgery. Quite honestly I'm not comfortable giving advice to people unless they're a couple of months out from surgery and its something I've seen a lot or have very good reason to be comfortable on the advice. Doctors do slough off the "support" to others, and this is one specialty that they need to stop doing that to.

That isn't a knock, but hopefully that will help you better in the forums. I know of a couple of particular groups who have a negative reputation that they legitimately earned and still are earning. (((
