Food For Thought
Stuff the Turkey, Not Yourself!
by Sally Buras, OH Member
 I remember Thanksgiving from the "good ol' days". You know what I'm talking about, don't you my fellow food addicts? Before my VSG two and a half years ago, Thanksgiving was a time when I could blissfully stuff my belly without feeling apologetic. Everyone is supposed to do this on Thanksgiving…right? You fill your 18-inch plate and extend that stomach, which feels a mile deep…over and over again. Of course, this is coupled with alcohol and dessert and then followed by a nap. Ahh…life was good!
Wait one delusional minute! If life was so good, then why did I have WLS?! Oh yeah, I was fat and unhappy. Still, I can't help but feel cheated somehow as I stand before the Thanksgiving spread knowing I will never again be able to stuff myself in that same pre-surgery way...Read More

 Roasted Sweet Potato Soup
Recipe submitted by OH member Leanmama
Super nutritious, gorgeous to look at and very tasty. This recipe calls for roasting the sweet potatoes first – a step that intensifies their flavor.
