How Will This Thanksgiving Be Your Healthiest Yet?



Recommended Posts

I'm going out of town and will have TG dinner with my daughter and friends. I plan of having a couple oz. of dark meat turkey and maybe dabble in the gravy :P . Maybe a teaspoon of cranberry (yum), and a bit of veggies. Can't wait! I love Thanksgiving!

I'm thinking about bringing some sparking apple cider- is that loaded in sugar?? I'll skip it if it is.

In the morning I will participate in a turkey day zumbathon/food drive. I have opted to volunteer at a shelter and serve the homeless on turkey day. However I will cook which this year will be Cornish hens, greens, sweet potatoes, pinto Beans, and the fam wants the Mac and cheese.

I am taking care of myself this holidays - not participating in the family Thanksgiving drama. Instead, going on a short trip with a good friend. For Christmas, I will again excuse myself from most of the family drama, and instead be grateful for the many blessings in my life.

My Thanksgiving will include working. I am administrator on call for the hospital that I work for. I am actually thankful for this. I had been passed over for many promotions in the past. I contribute my knew found position not only to my talents, but also to my overall appearance. Don't get me wrong, I will indulge in a thanksgiving feast. However, now it most includes turkey with a few bites of sides. This is so unlike my plates of food in the past. I love my WLS!!!

Enjoying my first thanksgiving at my fiance's family. So excited. I don't even have to cook this year. I'm taking pie for them but it's pecan pie I can't eat and not crazy about anyways. Turkey and green Beans are what I'm having for dinner.

It has already started! We are doing 4 turkeys and a ham this year. Two of the turkeys are given away. Two will be done in an orion cooker (my favorite!) and the other two will be baked. These are atomic buffalo turds. They are halfed jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese that has been spiked with Frank's hot sauce, smoked pulled pork on top and wrapped up with wonderful, glorious bacon! They are in the smoker right now.

My thanksgiving was Awesome I had surgery the day before!!! I had an amazing view from my hospital bed and a morphine pump, my husband had the picnic basket I had packed for him and watched football, it was quiet except for medical personnel, and memorable.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
