What's everyone eating for Thanksgiving?

I'm 5 months out and lost 80lbs. I will half a teaspoon of everything and a small piece of turkey.

I will not over eat. After dinner a few hours later I will have a sliver of pumpkin pie. I feel I can do this just for Thanksgiving. I'm also very thankful I had this surgery! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Hi Happy Turkey Day to everyone I'm cooking for everyone but I'm having grilled turkey, greens and for desert strawberry cheesecake quest bar, and I'm going to the gym to work out for 1 hour . Loving my new you and stinking to my plan and goal.

I am 6 weeks out and being the Thanksgiving chef, I will probably taste some of everything but that is it. I think I can do it!

I'm just going to eat what we normally eat just in smaller proportions. I'm even going to have a bite or two of candied sweet potatoes (recipe a bit modified of course) and a small piece of pumpkin cheesecake. No regrets for this one day a year. :)

im going to have Soup....errrrrr....water....errrrrrrr...

lol. that's all i can think of.

oh, and some collard green juice. i love that. yum.

Lucky you! It's only been 8 days after surgery but I'm going to get dressed up, look pretty and try a tiny bit of mash potatoes and fish, applesauce. That's all I can have.

Happy Thanksgiving Guy's! :rolleyes:

I know right ..congrats on day 8 I'm a couple days out from 3 weeks. and today I had tiny poration of pot rost and sweet potatoes. idk if suppose to eat the pot roast yet but I chewed for long time n went down ok.....it also felt good to get dressed up and feel pretty..I pushed myself to doll myself up because I've been feeling Down but definitely did trick.. hope you do well on your journey! I'm definitely going to need the support ..glad found this app

Well I my body did not like the foods I was not suppose to eat... I did not feel well.

I never actually got sick I will never do that again. I will make turkey soup this week

End.

I went to a pot luck early in the afternoon. I had one chicken thigh, and a couple bites of stuffing, corn and mac and cheese. Then way later I had a slice of my cranberry custard pie.

(4 months post op) Did fine, no problems except sweet potato got stuck. Had to let it go so I could eat more. Turkey (any meat for that matter) can easily get stuck for me but did ok this time. It helped that it was just a turkey breast, not the whole turkey, and I think it was processed or something. Made it easier to eat rather than the dry, hard cooked turkey. Tried the ham too but it came already sweetened and I don't do sweetened meats. yuck.
Already on to leftovers! :) YUM
I'm noticing that the more carbs I eat the hungrier I feel. What's up with that??? I finally broke the stall and I noticed I have been eating more carbs than before. I have got to get this all figured out. So frustrating. They stress eating Protein protein protein and more protein and when I do I don't have any room for the veggies and fruits or anything else. When eating the protiens I wasn't as hungry either, now that I've added the carbs I'm not feeling satisfied and feel like I'm eating too much and too much junk yet I broke the stall and finally losing again. I've also taken a break from exersize this week. Coincidence? I wasn't losing weight when excersizing and when I stop I start to lose the weight.
This is all so confusing. :(
