First Thanksgiving
Nov 24, 2009
Okay, well maybe not my FIRST but it is my first after gastric bypass. I have been gearing up for this all week because I know there will be some challenges with what I can eat and what I cannot. It is okay, I think I have it under control! My concern was not changing family traditions to affect everyone else. I assured family and friends who will be joining us to bring what they want, prepared the way they want to prepare it and I know my limits. I can do this!
I have also been mentally preparing for the grilling I will receive when I go to my husband's family get together. My mother and father-in-law know all about the surgery and keep up with the changes, but I did not tell my brother and sister-in-law. It should be interesting! I don't have to defend my decisions, right? It was the best thing I could do for myself to insure I would be around to take care of my children and my family. I eat right and I exercise. There, I said it so now I am ready to face them...
May the peace of Thanksgiving find you!
