Topic: RE: Pre Planning for Thanksgiving Week
I choose only the foods I can't get at other times of the year.  I use a small plate so my small portion looks bigger.  I hate feeling over stuffed and that icky feeling.  I so don't want to feel like I will throw up.  I am NOT going there!

Eat sensible, slowly, and stop when you are getting full.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

Topic: RE: Thanksgiving
Use a small plate to put your diner on is my best recommendation.  I found (and still find) that turkey sits really heavy in my tummy.  Eat a portion of turkey first then have a bite of the other holiday foods you love.  Don't waste space on stuff you can get at other times of the year.

As I recall from my first Thanksgiving I had like one or two bites of dressing, a couple of green beans, and a bite of pumpkin pie.  I was a happy camper.  I plan on following the same plan again tomorrow and I am almost 3 years out.

Good luck!  Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Topic: RE: I have a date for plastics!
I know once I have a nice flat tummy I am going to hate my thighs even more than I do now.  <>  Unfortunately, there is no way I can afford to to the rest of the plastics I want.  I would love to get my arms and thighs done.  Then, maybe a pair of perky boobs to go with the rest!  lol

I did get my insurance to pay for the panni part of my tummy tuck.  I am paying the "upcharge" for the rest of the tummy tuck (the muscle work.)  This is the only way I could have gotten this procedure.

2 weeks from tomorrow I will be getting ready to check in at the hospital!  Happy dance!

Im not a sleever, I am a RNY'er...But I will have a small taste of all the stufff that won't make me dump. We are going to a friends home (she is a sleever) and I will not have to deal with leftovers or cooking. And that will be a huge relief!

Happy Turkey Day Y'all

Topic: RE: Does anyone have bcbs insurance???
I have BCBS.  I did all of the pretests (started in july of this yr and just scheduled my surgery friday just to save the date... found out today that my insurance approved my case)  It was a bit uncomfortable to not know what my out of pocket would be for all this time, becausse that was a big part of whether I could do the surgery, but really, until you do all the preliminary testing and they submit the findings, you don't really know what they'd cover or  not anyway... in the mean time, you get a very thorough checkup and know more than you ever knew about your physical well being.   I go to Bailey Medical Center in Owasso.  Dr Varnell will be my surgeon.  I've met with him twice and he was very nice and very knowledgable and made me feel at ease.  Dr Kirk is the General "referring" doctor.  He's really nice too, very laid back and is easy to talk to.  Expect to not get in and out of appts with him, though.  He develops a very good, personal  rapport with people, but the flipside is that it makes him run behind often.  Just go expecting that and you won't have an issue. :) Do you live near Tulsa?

Topic: RE: Pre Planning for Thanksgiving Week
Sounds like you have a great plan!  Our Thanksgiving will be easy because we are going out to eat to a cafeteria out of town.  My plan is to sample everything I think looks good and then when I walk out of the place, I'm done.  No left overs to tempt for for days or anything.  I have scaled back a little on my calories the past few days hoping to offset.
