What Are You Eating Tomorrow?

[sleeve_sister 110]

Just wondering what y'all will be eating for thanksgiving? I'm 5 wks post op and am cooking but the past few days I have not been able to eat much. Not sure what my problem is I think I've just been busy and haven't really payed attention. I need to get it together. I haven't tried turkey yet but I think ill triy some tomorrow.

I'm making it super easy by staying home by myself All my family lives hours away and because of surgery physically and financially it's not a good idea to undertake a major trip right now. I figure I'll spoil myself by getting some deli turkey and maybe make some carb friendly pumpkin pie or something.

I am 2 months out and am having turkey breast, asparagus, and a couple bites of dressing/potatos/pie just for fun! Just hit the 40lbs lost this morning so really don't want to do anything to mess up my progress! Yesterday I had Buffalo Wild Wings with a friend and was shocked that I ate 2 and was full! I used to eat 6-9 plus an entire order of potato wedges! WOW! love my sleeve!

I'm about nine months out, and I plan to sample a little of everything. I'm the one doing all the cooking, so I expect that by the time I'm finished "testing" everything as I go, I'll be full!

I am 3 months post op and my goal is to eat a MEAL and not graze all day.

Turkey

Some stuffing

Some potatoes

Some green Beans

And no doubt I will keep picking at turkey since we'll be at home and I'm cooking.

It'll still be 1/4 of what I would have eaten before!

Solid 40 lbs lost as of today.

I hope to have a little turkey and some potatoes. Oh, and a taste of my mom's homeade Puerto Rican pasteles, which are basically meat patties made with root vegetables.

At first I thought I would just have mashed potatoes or something equivalent in consistency, but I figured out yesterday that the number of dishes we will have is about as many bites as I can eat so I will have a small bite of everything so I don't psyche myself out by 8 pm thinking I didn't get to have a Thanksgiving!

That's my plan, too! I bite if most everything. But I'm staying away from the pies...can't let's self so down that road. :/

To the OP, make sure that your turkey is moist say the thigh meat. Turkey can be dry or drier and you don't want to spoil thanksgiving by getting sick. Put a little gravy on it and enjoy.

Some food for thought: those of us new sleevers, you will have many, many more thanksgivings to enjoy, food included: if you want to stay on track eat small amounts and don't go all gusto on non program foods(pies, stuffing, cakes).

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I'll be 6 months out Sunday and I'll be having 4 oz total of turkey, ham, squash casserole, and a couple bites of my mama's dressing and some mashed sweet potatoes (my dessert). I won't be having the mashed potatoes, yeast rolls, pie, or cupcakes though I am cooking them. I tried out some Boars Head turkey breast and spiral ham last weekend at Harris Teeter and it was the most moist turkey I'd ever tried. All you have to do is heat in a little Water, brown the crust, and ta-da! I'm been craving it now all week! At 5 weeks out, I was eating meat with no issues, just make sure it's juicy like the pp said. Happy Thanksgiving!
