I thought it would be fun to find out how each of us are going to handle the holidays.

At my apartments a few of us are getting together to spend the day as a group. Everyone is bringing stuff so it is easier on everyones pocket book.

How about you???:clap2:

Thanksgiving is the first day I get to eat real food. I've been thinking about it constantly. I've been on clear liquids for two weeks and then full liquids for two weeks. I'm so ready to have something to chew! We are getting together for my hubby's family on Thursday and his mom is all into making sure I have lots of soft foods to eat. It is going to be a very thankful Thanksgiving!1

My daughter is having Thanksgiving at her house. I'll still be on full liquids/pureed foods. I'm planning to puree a little turkey with a little gravy and have that with some thinned mashed potatoes. Also some cranberry jelly, some dressing thinned with broth, some pumpkin bisque and pumpkin pie without the crust. I'm thinking just a bite of most of these things over the course of several hours, of course. And I might even have a sip or two of wine.

I am in my 2 week liquid pre-op diet right now. I will be having 2 slim-slows and a lean cuisine for my thanksgiving. My surgery is the wed. after Thanksgiving. I am planning on visiting some family and ignore their food.

i'm going for a pre-dinner tomorrow evening with the in-laws. then i go to mom's next week. i was just cleared to eat "normal" things yesterday, so i will be able to enjoy the thanksgiving feast the week before i get my first fill. perfect timing, and i'm not going to hold back either. next year, i hope to be able to eat a lot less than i can now.

I went to a pre TG dinner this past Thursday at my son's school and they had everything. I was able to eat a bite or two of everything on my plate. Which was about 6-7 bites, I was stuffed.

TG day we will be going to relatives and bringing a dish, all I can say is Thank You Lord for this band because before I would've been eating all this week leading up to TG with all these pre TG dinners from school and work.

A few bites of food and I'm good to go. I plan on eating whatever I want for that day and getting back to my proteins the very next day. With plenty of turkey left over it should be easy.:hungry:

We decided to go non-traditional this year. Usually, I cook a big dinner for the 5 of us, but since I am on pureed/soft, we decided to go to Chinatown, which we love. I can have egg drop soup and find something else soft, and the fam can have whatever they usually have. For Christmas, my mom makes a big traditional dinner, so they'll get it once this season, and by then, I can have some turkey that's not ground!
