Monday Roll Call!

1~ Have you started Your Christmas shopping? Well actually I have bought only 1 present so far. For Isaiah! 2~ What do you plan on doing differently for Thanksgiving dinner this year? Since we will have a brand new kitchen this year I plan on cooking a great feast. But I also plan on eating only a little bit. 3~ If you lied on your drivers license, are you getting closer to that weight or do you weigh less now? I weigh less! But I did lie the whole time I was over weight on my license. Dana

Hey miss! Haven't seen you around lately. Hope everything's going well! April

1.) No, but I should... I have many to shop for and not enough time. Christmas is in 55 days I think. 2.) I am going on a trip for Thanksgiving (with friends, not family) and thus we won't be doing the traditional meal. We are going to Savannah GA for fun. 3.) I so lied. I said I was 250 when I was 360. I passed 250 months ago

MORNING ALL! 1~NO, I always wait til the last minute. 2~For Thanksgiving I will probably cook a boneless breast, honey ham with pineapples and no stuffing or maybe a tiny amount. I always in the past would have tons of stuffing with mashed potatoes and gravy and dip hawaiin rolls in them. Go figure not this year, I will try to stick to the protein. 3~Yes, I sure did lie my DL says 300 when I weighed 360 and now I am 290 or so. Have a good day all! ~Norma~

1. HAVE YOU STARTED YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING ? (No we are going on a cruise in Hawaii with our whole family for christmas so we wont be exchanging gifts there I thought I would just get gifts cards for everyone else and give my teenagers money for shopping on the cruise, I will need to shop for my 4 year old and my husband) 2.I What do you plan on doing different for Thanksgiving ? ( I am making a sf pumpkin pie and may just do away with the spirel ham all together other than that it will be the same) 3. If you lied on your drivers license, are you getting closes to that weight or do you weigh less. ( I so totally lied, but its funny I way much less than what I said now...lol) To fun, have a great day Tori

Good day everyone! I been running around all damn day! Sheesh...I even had to call outta work because there's just too much to do. Kay, these are some good questions! 1~ Have you started Your Christmas shopping? Somewhat...I got my niece 1 of her gifts. I'm gonna keep up with it though. I need to save money come December 2~ What do you plan on doing differently for Thanksgiving dinner this year? Uh...nothing. Eat less of EVERYTHING. Oh...I don't care about the weight I gain in one day...I'll just have to work hard to get it off! It's the holiday folks....live a little. 3~ If you lied on your drivers license, are you getting closer to that weight or do you weigh less now? I weigh less...i put 205 on my license...i'm at 171 now. April

I agree with you! The only thing I'm doing differently is cooking less. I WILL still eat a little bit of everything just alot less.

I swear I'm the only greedy as hell gastric bypass patient. I still enjoy food! I just know how to eat better. Kay....I'm greedy! That's what my best friend always tells me anyway. See, before I would eat everything like I would never see it again or never have the opportunity to eat it again. Now, I have a bite then move on with my life. And if I don't think it's a good time to eat it, then I'll save it and take it on home or share it with someone. I used to be scared of food up until 2-3 months ago, but not anymore. I feel so "normal" in the sense that I eat what a normal person my size would eat. I don't get bent outta shape if I eat a cookie or some chips, and I don't call them "bad foods". I allow myself to a treat once in a blue, but when I see myself getting a little outta control...I put myself in check. Or try to anyway. It's so easy to have food issues, so I try my hardest to not have any!And I feel sorry for those who deal with them, because I know it's hard. But girl....I'm eatin' on Thanksgiving! April

April, your a trip! You say the same things my surgeon says to me. He wants me to get the "diet" concept out of my head and eat normal. I still beat myself up over carbs, good food and still have not tried anything sweet since surgery. I guess I'll get over it one day. I'm just scared of being the size I use to be. But I'm with you.. I'm eatin' good for the holidays! Kay

You aren't the only greedy WLS patient! I'm greedy too! But hey I didn't have this surgery to live life differently than everyone else. And pretty much I can eat whatever I want. So now my goal is to just maintain! So I plan on eating on Thanksgiving also. A bit of everything!!!! Enjoy it girl! Dana
