I did pretty well. I ate about a tablespoon of dressing/stuffing, and had a few ounces of wine. That's all. Otherwise, I stuck to my regularly scheduled eating plan. Funny thing was, I didn't miss the sweets. These days, fruit tastes like dessert to me. I had some wonderful fresh fruit instead of the pumpkin pie (which really never was my favorite, anyway). But I DID enjoy that stuffing. I did remember to eat my protein first, though, then my veggies, so I didn't feel that I needed much of the stuffing. I'm amazed at how satisfying just a taste of something is. I've seen people like that (who haven't had WLS), but never understood it. Now I get it! I exercised every day over the long weekend, and I actually lost two pounds over the weekend. I was so happy when I stepped on the scale this morning!

I think I did pretty well. I did eat a tablespoon of stuffing once every hour til I fell asleep on Thursday night! I get that "carb-coma" some people have mentioned. Its like I was shot with a tranquilizer dart or something. And no sweets of any kind for me this thanksgiving. I am still afraid of eating sweets, plus I am a type I diabetic, its a no-no anyways. belinda
