Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well I made it through my first Thanksgiving dinner with my in-laws who don't know I have had this surgery. I did very well and did not eat too much (overstuff my pouch) . I had to keep getting up to help the kids so no one noticed the small portions I too., I was worried the small amount I took would draw attention but it didn't. They commented on how great I was looking (mother in law thinks I'm on some sort of south beach diet ) lol So it all went well. I hope you all are having a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!!

Congrats!!!!  Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!!!  I'll have to remember that tip so that people don't notice my small portions after surgery. 

I had to do my turkey dinner last weekend as I'm on the liquid diet now, so glad that I did that cause now I don't have to worry about any temptations to eat turkey!!!!

Great job.

How do you find not mixing liquids and solids? And was your portion of dinner noticably tiny?

Thanks for the wishes!  Happy Thanksgiving to you  too!

Glad that you made it thru without any trouble

Mmm I enjoyed a nice Turkey Dinner tonight...

I really enjoyed it.. I didn't overeat at all..I even passed on the pumkin pie an ice cream

I did have thoughts about not being able to have a plate full like that again...

I did not have any issues with not having a drink with my meals now, I really have gotten used to it over the past few months.  My meal was tiny, I put on my plate mostly turkey and then some veggies and a tiny bit of stuffing and gravy (looked like about 3/4 of a cup to 1 cup of food) I purposely put more food on my plate to not  draw attention to my portion size, but only ate about 1/2-3/4 of it. Since I had to keep getting up to help kids, it looked like I was eating for a normal length of time and then I put the rest in the garbage. Normally I would have chosen a smaller plate, but couldn't this time so I spread the food out to cover about 1/2 of the plate. I was so thankful no food got 'stuck'.
