I don't have any favorites on Thanksgiving. I like it all! But, this will be my first Holiday season after my band and I'm doing so good with my weight loss so I will stay on course and no "slide". I am so positive and strong minded in controlling my weight and getting better health results. My dad recently died (Oct 29) at 91 years old and his memories are still fresh in all my families minds. It will be a quieter Thanksgiving then normal for this reason.

I want to wish all Lapband forum folks a very Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Best Wishes and Keep the Faith.

My condolences Roja.. and you sound like you are doing awesome!! :D I love hearing it!

My favorite is my momma's stuffing! omg so good, but since ALL my family is in cali and It is just my boyfriend and I in florida, I usually make a dinner with lots of leftovers because I was use to the way my mom cooked thanksgiving. lol. this year.. I am making most of the stuff I usually make but waaay smaller portions so I don't have left overs!

Oh!! And Armenian Potatoes! They are soooo yummmmy!

Desserts! I love pumpkin pie. My mom's giblet gravey was my favorite and I am so glad she taught me how to make it. I am cooking the Thanksgiving family dinner this year also and looking forward to having family and friends. Talking with my baby brother from Atlanta last night and he said, Sis, who is going to eat all this food. I told him to bring plenty of dishes for left overs. I love to cook and this is one of my favorite meals to prepare.

MMMMM.... loved my Moms' giblet gravy. Miss her dearly... the one thing she taught us all was how to cook and bake! :)

I think if I had to pick a favorite it would be the stuffing or the wild rice or the shallot and garlic carrots ooooooo maybe that simple green bean casserole. (yup, love it all) And lets not even start on the pie or the home made icecream Grandpa Greg makes with the kids.

Suddenly.... it's all becoming clear. :-/

I am going to enjoy but not over induldge, anyway that is the plan.

Happy Thanksgiving all.... Gobble Gobble

OOOOOOOOOO ya, no... I absolutely have a favorite.

Left overs .... Turkey tidbits over buttermilk biscuits... this has been my all time favorite meal since I was a kid. uff!

the turkey, mayo, cranberry sauce on white bread 3 times a day until the turkey is gone. this year I just bought a breast,no white bread, and only 2 cans of sauce and no fruit salad and 1/2 the stuffing I want no left overs for the first time in 60 yrd.

My favorite was my Grandma's stuffing! Haven't had it in about 13 years...oh it was SO good! It's unfortunate that my Mom never learned the recipe and I couldn't be bothered to learn when I had the chance.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
