First off the Splenda Pumpkin Pie was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooooooo good and no one knew it was splenda ( people are so funny, they wouldnt have tried it if I didnt push lol ) I had some turkey, about two ounces... lil mashies ( 2 tblsp's) and munched some wheat thins and drank some wine.   Oh and the pie...small piece Hmmmmmmmm been far to long!! So how did everyone do?????   Did everyone have fun?   I start work today at seven am... Im lucky I didnt have to open with them at 4:30~ Yikes Have a wonderful day all..... hope your home and enjoying your family Much love Linda

Good Morning Linda......Glad you enjoyed yourself. The SF pie does sound good!! I am sure you will be very busy at work today......all those crazy shoppers running around. Which location do you work at?? Like I said earlier I spent most of the day in bed on Thanksgiving. Hoping to get a little more done today. Still hurting but not quite as bad as yesterday. Have a great day! Hugs, connie d

Hi Connie...I sure hope you feel abit better today, but dont set yourself back by doing to much! Hows your baby grandson.... ( baby :)    Nic? Resiliant as ever??    I hope we are busy and lots of people put lots O dollars in my tip jar LOL Warm gentle hugs to you Linda

Hi .....Thanks for asking about Nic.....he is doing okay. Still no word on what they will be doing this time to help him. Should hear something this next week. He is such a brave and wonderful young man...he never complains....he just goes with the flow. I love him sooooooo much! Hugs, connie d

I had too much as usual...  Heading to work at 9am so hopefully I can work some of that off.!

I did really well.  I had some turkey (about 3 oz), a small helping of mashed potatoes and stuffing, some beets and a very small sliver of pumpkin pie.  All in all - did great.  The funniest thing for the day was when I walked in and my BIL looked at me and said "Holy **** where did you go?"  He hasn't seen me for a while.

Twas good this year!  Last year I didn't over due because I still needed to lose and well it just wasn't fun!  THIS year was great!  I enjoyed and savored every bite!!!  I ate more last year but enjoyed the food MORE this year!!! 

Happy Day After Everyone!!!!  I did really well.  I had 2 pinky fingers of turkey and a tablespoon of mashies.  Drank my milk twice before and after eating "lunch" and had brought some egg salad and yogurt for my "dinner " while they ate pie.  Plus went on two long walks and got all my water in.  Wasn't that difficult -- of course, my brother had to keep teasing me to "stop eating so much", "leave some for the rest of us", etc.  Wasn't being a meany -- he is always a smart a** with me -- that's what makes our relationship fun!!!  He and his girlfriend both commented on how good I looked and that they could really tell I had lost alot of weight.  So that was fun!!!  Even my hubby told me I looked really good in my jeans!!! 

Did the 5:00 Sam's, Walmart and Best Buy trip this a.m.  Got EVERYTHING we wanted to get from the ads so we are very pleased.  Unfortunately they weren't any Christmas presents for anyone but us, so now the hubby can watch his new t.v. while I go shopping over the next couple of weeks to get that done.  We were at Sam's for 10 minutes, Walmart for 15, but in the line at Best Buy for 40 minutes!!!   See ya'll later!!!!  Off to take a little nap.

Yesterday I did not too bad for a "last meal"  I had my Mom make one salad I know I won't be able to eat next year (Snickerdoodle) and commented on how next year there will be one SF pumpkin pie much to my siblings arguments I am planning way ahead of time to make at least a small pie I will be able to enjoy next year.  I was proud that I did not make myself sick eating.  My older sister brought me a lovely little gift of assorted SF jello since I start my 10 day liquid diet tomorrow.  I did not go shopping this morning, but my older sister offered to pick some things up for me since she was shopping at 4 am this morning.  Among them a George Foreman Grill and mini-crockpot to help with cooking post-op, as well as several presents for Christmas.  I am currently at work and just taking a little break although we are getting a surprising number of phone calls this morning.  It is quiet here today with over 1/2 the department out of the office. 

 :( I haven't been really pi$$ed off for a long time about not being able to eat more.  But yesterday it did get to me!  I LOVE THANKSGIVING!! I had a couple ounces of turkey, and a good 1/2 cup of mashed potatoes and gravy...oh my goodness I was in heaven!  Passed up on every thing else except... I had one small bite of pumpkin bread pudding...mmmmmmmm
