So how was the Annual "Let's all over eat" Day for everyone?
, I just recently in the past few months started to attend a bariatric surgery support group in my area. Great group of people from all different points in their journey. I couldn't imagine waking up reading that and on Thanksgiving. I'm sorry.
i grabbed a dessert plate instead of the huge dinner plates they had out for everyone. I didn't measure things cause I forgot them so I relied on my skill from the past almost 9 months to help me (well more like 7 of eating cause the first 2 months was liquid hehe).
I did well, I put more meats and veggies on it than anything on it although I didn't deny myself of a small bite of sweet potato casserole. When I say a bite it was a bite. I was able to put a bite of stuffing on my plate as well. I didn't have a want for desserts funny enough. I find that my taste changed. I still love sweet things, but it's meat that I crave more now.
Someone brought in an edible arrangement. It was soo good. I had 1 cantaloupe spear and 1 pineapple spear.
What hurt me was the cup of gumbo that evening I ate. I didn't think about it. Gumbo starts off with an oil base. Silly me. But OMG it's gumbo! and it was soo good. I was able to lay down for 10 minutes and all was well. My tummy was just yelling at me.
So in all, I think i did rather well!
