Dear August All Stars,

Happy Thanksgiving. I am truly thankful for all of you and your support during our unique jorney together.

I am sipping my morning coffee, getting ready to jump on the treadmill . I will visit my family early then the in-laws later, with some football in between. Son #1 is home from college.

My focus will be on family and friends, not food....

My encouragement to you is to get out and do some exercise today ... take a walk with someone special. Do this for you....

Peace and Love to you and your families.

Gary B. :grouphug:

Great advice Gary! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I just put the 20 lb. turkey in the oven and it smells soooo good here LOL

Making a huge dinner for family and friends, luckily when I cook this much I never eat that much I am too tired and all "fooded out" So I never overeat. Just have to not want a huge turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce (whole berries) and boiled onion on nice thick soft white bread sandwich at midnight tonight. LOL

Hope everyone has a great day with family and friends and that you don't get "stuck" and slime. I plan not to.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Today I am thankful for 3 GREAT boys, wonderful family, a steady job in these rocky times, and that I got the lap band this year!

I wonder if anyone will notice that I used SF jell-o for the cranberry salad and light miracle whip for the pea salad...

Well I found out I can't eat stuffing....was fine during this afternoon's dinner, just ate some white meat and a spoonful ( I mean tablespoonful) of everything else. I ate slowly and was fine

Had a very very small piece of apple pie, with nothing on it, no ice cream or whipped cream, and I left half the crust.

Sooooo tonight at 8:00 was hungry and made myself a small plate with turkey, stuffing a bit of squash and some cranberry sauce. Started eating, had the meat first then a bit of the squash, was fine. Started eating a bit of stuffing and wham....I felt awful, stopped eating immediately and put the food back in the fridge.

Well I slimmed worse than ever for about half an hour and then I sort of vomited, not like real heaves, just the stuffing came up with the slime in one big mass, geez I think that stuff expanded a lot in there.

I don't think I will ever eat one bite of stuffing again after that. I will go on liquids for a day or two to give my band and stomach a rest.

Guess you learn something every day.....geez

Shamrock~ Hope you are doing better. I had a pretty good meal this afternoon with no episodes, thank goodness, I was at the in-laws. I didn't overeat and really enjoyed my time with my family. It was snowy and cold so I did not get out to walk today, have a travel day all day tomorrow, so I will be back on the exercise on Saturday!

I did well today and am happy with myself.

Shamrock, I'm so sorry you got sick! That's called PB'ing by the way. Sorry.

Ro, sorry you had to work today. Hang in there!

I hope everyone had a Blessed Thanksgiving! I know I did!

Kristen, safe travels!

Oh no, I hope I don't react to the stuffing!! My nanna has a special recipe!! It is awesome!!

It is nearly Xmas!! WOHOOOO!!!

Thanks feeling better this morning. And I still managed to lose .4 lbs. this past week LOL

Having my liquids today to give tummy a rest. I surely don't like PBing...it's awful.

I will let the family eat the leftovers.

I'll freeze some of it myself and then make turkey Soup. I love it it's thick and has tons of veggies in it and a little Pasta. More like a stew than soup.

Hey Shamrock, I am glad you are feeling better and I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving; I know I did. It is an outstanding day with the family and my niece’s baby is big enough to participate this year so that was fun. Anyway I am the chef for our feast and I cooked for two days and thankfully it all hit the table hot and tasty. It was funny because when I put my plate together I did it as if it was pre-surgery (out of habit) and when I sat down I realized I had a plate of food in front of me that I was only going eat about a quarter of.. Thank God for the band. Stay strong everyone we have entered the season where food and drink is everywhere!
