!!!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. It's just another turkey day.... It will be here next year too .. You are strong and I always look for your posts

I will attempt a small piece of turkey and I hope a small amount of pumpkin pie. Just enjoy every bite that you can take down.

I will be on my ten day pre-surgery diet, but the surgeon and NUT said i could have a little lean turkey, nonstarchy veggies and a carb (fruit or potato). I'm happy with that. I thought I was going to eat NOTHING but my protein shake...

I'm going to be cooking dinner for my husband's family. I've already promised that I won't try to substitute weird diet versions of Thanksgiving recipes. I plan on having a small piece of turkey breast with gravy, and a bite each of green bean casserole, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce--in that order, so I get a taste of my favorites if I get full. Not sure if I'll have a bite of dessert or not--if it's not chocolate, I don't care that much.

Turkey! I am making the Cauliflower mock baked potato Casserole as a side dish to take. I love cranberry with turkey so that is a given! But my Mom makes it homemade... and it is wonderful.

For me the secret is 'just a taste' of the things I really like, but sit down & have it on a (small) plate all as a meal......the remnants of my old 'dayly graze' remain too influential.

And while home made sour dough herbal stuffing is great, I prefer a spoon or 2 of gravy.

I too prefer a little seafood rather than turkey...but in a pinch, a little thin slice of prime rib will do.

We used to go to friends for a 4 hour multi-too much feast of multiple everything.

Now a small salad plate with a mini taste of the choices really satisfies.

Crab cakes and string beans .. Maybe a taste of Swedish meatballs.. I'm not a turkey lover at all!! The smell. The texture. I can't!!

im going to have turkey and a little bit of mashed cauliflower.

We better go out and get our cauliflower now.....cuz it looks like there will be a rush on it this year as a substitute for potatoes!!

That's OK, that means more leftover potatoes for me!

I will be having whatever is served. Turkey, potatoes, stuffing, veggies, desserts....Can't wait

Wow a lot of you are trying stuffing. I thought that would be hard to eat because of the bread in it.

2 oz turkey, 2T mashed sweet potato, 2T stuffing, 1T gravy, 1T cranberry sauce. then in about 1 hour 2T pumpkin pie(just the filling). i found some gingerbread spice herbal tea that reminds me of mulled cider, but without all the calories and sugar. that, and the chance to be truly thankful for the MANY BLESSINGS that i have this year, will be on my thanksgiving plate!

Yeah... I was told to avoid bread, especially moist bread, and sugar. But there seem to be a lot of people who will be enjoying stuffing and various desserts.

And cranberry sauce

I'm making a dessert that looks nice and is on the lighter side and is very easy to make

you mix a box of angel food mix (the kind where you just need to add water) with a can of pie filling. My favorite is blueberry and you can find it sugar free. Bake it according to the box instructions. In a bunt pan it looks very nice
