Thanksgiving day tips
My plan today is:
to eat a good breakfast.
Take all my meds (especially the Wellbutrin) as we will have a blended family Thanksgiving at our home.
Have a snack around 10.
Keep busy until dinner time.
Say a prayer of Thanksgiving
For the meal. small serving of Turkey. for the sides Im going to have my own mini serving spoon by my plate. That way I can sample some of the traditional dishes after a small serving of Turkey.
no desert. Enjoy a hot beverage like hot chocolate (the protein enriched sugar free kind while others eat pie.
watch football
get everyone out by 5-6 pm
RELAX and celebrate good choices!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
I don't worry about the holidays anymore. If I stick to my 4 meals a day, and eat my protein first, I know the restriction will keep me from overdoing. I know I'll have some carbs and some deserts, but its ok as long as its a small quantity.
Have a wonderful thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for with our new health and energy, family and friends.
blessings,

Thanksgiving went very well. I was a little concerned as I was in a stall and there was a lot of dishes that we only eat once a year. That was my reasoning for my little serving spoon. I even had small samples of pie! We sent all leftovers home with our guests and only kept some Turkey. I vacuumed packed it into meal sized portions for my wife and I and froze it.
I am am very thankful for my sleeve and a new healthier life. I am also very fortunate to have my wife (sleeved) make this journey with me. Bonus us is my little sister is on the medical weight loss plan too.
bring on Christmas!
