I was just thinking, the holidays with all the food will be coming up before we know it.. I will be 5 months post op for thanksgiving and 6 months post op for Christmas.. What kind of holiday food is pouch friendly? I'm kinda nervous to be honest..

I have been wondering the exact same thing!

I started to think the same thing. I'll be having soft/puree foods by the time Thanksgiving roles around. I believe I'll be 5 or 6 weeks by then.

I've also been thinking of this. Planning is our key to success, right?

For Thanksgiving, turkey with a little gravy on it (to moisten it up a bit) and I will put some fresh vegetables on my plate. I will skip all the pre-dinner snacking and deserts.

For Christmas, it has been my husband's family tradition to prepare home made chicken noodle Soup. Even the noodles are home made. There is home made lefsa as well. I'm planning on a bowl of soup without the noodles. I will follow my NUT's rules and eat the soup with a fork, so all I will be eating will be the chicken and vegetables. Oh...and no lefsa for me.

Holidays are a challenge because of the mental pull of the food. Be good to yourself with tiny portions eaten slowly don't let others make you feel bad

Luckily my surgery is (supposedly) going to be the week before or of thanksgiving then I'll be on liquids for Christmas I think.
