Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

I love reading your post, it makes my day and I'm thankful for that. I'm by myself so i didn't cook nothing, but I will go to Cracker Barrel or Denny's and I will have a slice of Turkey and a bite of stuffing and a bite of mash potatoes with some green beans so I'm not doing without, I lost so far 120.2 lbs , I will spend Christmas with my Daughter In Chicago next month... Keep warm everyone!

Happy thanksgiving everyone! I know this day of gorging will be different for us, but if you feel as good about yourself as I do, losing out on not eating isn't even an issue.

I saw my parents for the first time since surgery and their reaction to my new look brought tears to my eyes! We have so much to be thankful for. Here is my list:

1. An amazing family that has supported me in this journey more than I ever imagined.

2. A new lease on life and a positive outlook for once.

3. Feeling more energized and healthier. I never thought this would happen.

4. Having had a smooth journey and recovery. I know not everyone has had an easy RNY experience that I have and I pray they recover quickly!

5. The new relationships I'm forming with my new found confidence!

Thats awesome news about your parents and thier reaction.

Happy " No PIE" Thanksgiving!!! :-)

Sooooooo I had pie..... And pumpkin roll.......... I feel guilty. I wish I dumped cause that would prevent me from eating it. Nothing but protein shakes and yogurt for the next two days. Then I have thanksgiving at my dads. Ugh... More food.

I think it's perfectly fine to indulge a bit. I had pumpkin pie too! But I had the tiniest sliver, which is a lot less than I use to eat. Now that we are well out from surgery I think it's all about learning how to live and eat in moderation. I enjoyed my thanksgiving and I ate more than I typically do since surgery, but I'm not going to punish myself with just protein shakes. I still ate probably thousands of calories less than I use to and tomorrow I will get back to my normal eating. We can't beat ourselves up. That is a habit we need to break because it could lead to other bad habits. So don't worry! Live and be happy and just get back on track tomorrow!

Today was a good day. I had my family over for dinner, I cooked a wonderful meal, I ate a tiny amount and was satisfied and didnt feel sickly full afterwards. What a wonderful thing to not feel like I have to stuff myself silly.

Nothing is wrong with a bite of this and that! I had one bite of stuffing and it had a little bit of gravy on it and omg! it was sooo good had a bite of mash potatoes and of course I had turkey and ham but no pie but I did had a taste of cranberry just a taste on that I was afraid I might dump but I was full and ate about a 3/4 of a cup so I'm sure I'm in my range from what I totaled on calories it was about 800 for the day. And I got my protein in.. No guilty feelings here

I will proudly say that I enjoyed every bit of thanksgiving dinner IN moderation. I even had a tiny piece of pie. It was a wonderful day that I wouldn't take back for the world. My in laws are wonderful.

I too enjoyed my meal very much. I ate my breakfast this morning and then had lunch / dinner combo. I had 6 oz of Turkey, and one tablespoon each of dressing and mashed potatoes. I enjoyed a sliver of pumpkin pie. I hit my protein goal and got all my water in. Unfortunately, I have to do it all again tomorrow!

I lost weight thanksgiving week!! I was down 1.5 lbs this morning. Grant it I cooked for thirty people but I ate what I wanted just in my 'fun sized' portions. That's what my nephew says about me that everything is fun sized. being 5'2" in a family where everyone is over 6' is interesting. My weight loss has certainly slowed but gosh if I can just keep it moving it will be good. Oh did I mention I wore size 12 petite (not womens) jeans at dinner yesterday? Im so thankful for this surgery!!!

Omg I lost 2lbs!!! Crazy!! I don't get it. Maybe it's the carbs that I had in the pie and pumpkin roll. So strange but I'll take it. Congrats on ur loss!!

Hey my fellow Junies we made it through Turkey day. I did it with out any deserts ... Personal goal for me because I am the type if I have one bite I would have more and more.... Plus I'm Dow another 1.6lbs over the last two days.

I've been encouraged by all of your post keep up the good work!!
