I've been trying to plan my "plate" as well. We have a huge family get together for Thanksgiving and everyone in my family can cook their bottoms off...hence why I was the size I was. I'm 8 weeks out from surgery and while I can't stop thinking about all the goodness on the table I'm sure I'll be able to have more willpower than I actually think.

They will just have to pardon me when I excuse myself from dessert! (lol)

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

thanks everyone and Foreverc - awesome your the first person I've met who had my surgeon. I'll have to talk to you and compare notes and get your advise.

Hi... I am having my husband's whole family over.  40+  I just am going to eat a few bites of everything that I like.  I have a hard time filling a plate.  I end up looking like I am going to eat a small to moderate portion.  It is hard to get a the right amount on the plate.  I end up picking out what I want.  It's funny, I do notice that others look at my plate.  I always feel like they are saying or thinking that I eat too much.  It is funny...eating so little and worrying about something like that. 

Hope you have a fun and relaxing trip.  Happy Thanksgiving!
