Thanksgiving will be a perfect day for mushies. Stuffing, just don't make it chunky, deviled eggs, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoe casserole. Yum. I'm jealous. I won't be eating hardly anything except some turkey and a little dressing.

Oh, I have a great recipe. Tastes a lot like mashed potatoes, without all the carbs.

Mashed cauliflower

2 pound head of cauliflower, cut into florets (about 8 cups)

2 tbs. sour cream

2 tbs. heavy cream

1 1/2 tbs. butter

Salt & peper to taste

Boil cauliflower in salted Water for 10-12 minutes, until tender. Drain. In batches in food processor, process until smooth. Add sour cream, heavy cream, butter and S&P.

Serve with your favorite dinner. When I first heard of this recipe, I thought ew, but once I made it I said Yummy! I think the next time I make it I will add a little bit of the dried ranch dressing/seasoning mix to give it a ranch flavor.

filling for buttermilk pie, mashed butternut squash, pumpkin pie filling, mashed potatoes with gravey, Jello, applesauce, whipped sweet potatoes, souffle, flan, creamed spinach, quacamole, salmon mousse, curried deviled egg filling, brocolli cheese Soup. Be creative and don't worry about tradition this year...

i know you said you have a can of cranberry sauce, but if you get fresh cranberries, fresh cranberry sauce is way better. and you can tweak it to your liking. i like to add a splashe of prange juice while is cooking, and a couple of orange slices. it's a bit hit in my hourse, and only takes 10 mins to make. there's a recipe on the back of the cranberry bag.

This is one of the biggest complaints following band surgery. It will pass, but not too much you can do about it. Walk... that helps!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
