Does anyone else feel the same as me about Thanksgiving? My tummy is just a churning thinking about ALL the food!!! It use to be my "pig out" holiday. Last year, I felt the same as I do this year. Just want to get together with the relatives and avoid the food. Sure, I will have my 1/2-1 cup worth of protein and veggies but being post~op and watching everyone else do what I use to just makes my tummy go UGH!!! HELP!!! STOP!!!. I guess I will do what I did last year and just stay in the kitchen and clean up after I eat my little portion and wait for the others to finish.
Anyone else post~op like this or am I "my own little duck swimming in my own little pond "????

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! Hugs & Blessings!

I am conveniently going to be later for dinner and visit my family after the big meal.

I just can't stand watching it - shoveling the piles of food - gross!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Christmas with all the cookies used to be my pig out holiday.

I'm cooking for the hubby and me this year -- told him I hope he likes my cooking cause he'll be eating it for weeks (I won't be eating it). So we are cooking his favorites with the turkey and I'm making him soup on Friday!!!

Last year I actually got board and ill feeling watching others totally pig out. I guess I don't worry about any meals any more. Now It's just another meal to make choices on -- no different than any other. I just stick with the program and things are fine.

There is that word again -- CHOICES!!!

After my wls food became the second and the time and the family became first.

All that food and stuffing oneself to the point lethargy and pain to where your body wants to sleep it off? Someone misses that?

I agree with you Sandy.... no your not the only one.

I go for the turkey... I go for the family... I go in my size 4 jeans LOL

CHOICES
Hugs Honey Bunny and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving is the only meal I cook. All year. Hubby does the rest. I hate cooking. And I really don't know WHY I cook on Thanksgiving. But I do.

I'm not really dreading it. But I'm a procrastinator. So I may dread it tomorrow. I don't think you are alone, Sandy. I think you are part of the majority of WLS peeps.

Just need to keep busy. And like Linda, wearing my size 4 jeans (which I never imagined I would ever wear).

Happy Thanksgiving y'all! So thankful for such a great year.

Well being Canadian, this is round 2 of Thanksgiving for me this year, and I survived the first one. With that said I'm a little worried about tomorrow. We have been invited to 2 Thanksgiving dinners, one at 12:30 and the other at 5:30, and when your a guest in someone elses home it makes it tougher, but I have a Plan!

Get up early, do a full workout, that way it's out of the way. When it comes to the snacks and treats, don't sit near anygthing so I avoid grazing. Now when it comes to the meals, survey everything and decide what I want. Of course turkey is number one, than a healthy veggie and something else. I plan on using a small plate (bring my own) and if there is someting that is unhealthy that I REALLY want, take a little scoop so I can have a taste. I did this in October for Canadian Thanksgiving and it worked. You get full quickly so there isn't a lot of room to shove things in. Start with your turkey first and by the time you make it to the fattening stuff, your full.

Good Luck Everyone!
