Hi all

As the title says, what will you have for Christmas dinner?

Given the limited amount we all eat and that each meal is something special I was wondering what everyone will have?

I don't have a clue for myself yet and being a vegetarian makes it even more interesting than usual.

Martin.

Same as usual except very small portions

Kat.????????????????????????????????????????

I'll be 4 weeks post op but hope to have a sprout! Love them and a bit of roast parsnip, I'm vegetarian too, haven't decided on our main yet. Just made the mince pies and some shortbread, they're smelling amazing!

We have a family tradition of Fonduing in hot peanut oil. We fondue everything from steak to mushrooms, breaded cauliflower, and tempura batter dipped prawns. But first and foremost is oyster stew before the fonduing begins! I will eat everything, just way smaller amount!

Have "road tested" a mini homemade pie which came out well.

Filo pastry filled with Chopped chestnut, Rosehip Jelly, Stilton and with a sage and onion stuffing topping. Made in a muffin pan to hold the shape.

Will have it with roasted veg and gravy..

Probably lobster and shrimp, maybe some steak.

In our house it's going to be roast beef for Christmas Day. Neither of us (husband and I) are great turkey fans so we shall have some beautiful, if expensive Aberdeen Angus rib roast. I'll do all the trimmings-Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower and broccoli cheese, roast parsnips, roast spuds etc but I will be sticking with the meat and cheese sauce free veg whilst my naturally slender other half attacks the full monty. For the rest of the day and for Boxing Day I shall just do exactly as I did last year when I was two months post sleeve. A little bit of everything so that I didn't feel left out. It worked well for me. I shall also still be dragging the dogs out for their usual five mile walk every morning of the holiday. I may however, have to indulge, just a little, in a few Haribro jelly babies. A girl can't turn into a saint after all!!! Merry Christmas to you all x

Glad everyone had some nice plans and I hope it went better than mine........

Ended up in hospital on the 19th with kidney stones. Emergency operation on on the 23rd, sent home on 24th with festive pain killers and antibiotics and still feeling rubbish.

Christmas dinner was a few spoons of porridge and the half glass of red wine became 3 pints of Water throughout the day...

Oh well, will try again next year lol

I had a couple bites of everything but mostly had proteins. . It was nice getting all the flavors of Christmas dinner and still having a weight loss for the day.
