Let's Talk Turkey! December 22, 2011 10:47 am During the winter holiday season it seems there is always plenty of turkey available for consumption. In fact, we may eat so much turkey we fear we will soon start to gobble. Though it may seem tedious, Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) patients take heart - this is one holiday staple in which we can indulge recklessly! Gastric bypass and lap-band weight loss surgery patients are encouraged to enjoy a diet rich in lean animal protein and low in processed carbohydrates. That great American bird, the turkey, fits the bill being lean protein, easily digestible and delicious. Turkey is a fabulous low-fat high-protein nutrient-rich source for your living after WLS lifestyle. A 3-ounce serving of turkey is about the right volume to fill the stomach pouch leaving a WLS patient satiated and comfortable. Here are a few things to consider about the bountiful bird: 3 Ounces of Roast Turkey (mix of light & dark meat) Contains:
I know there are tons of “disguise your leftover turkey? recipes out there. But you know, in a sentimental moment I’m willing to slice off three ounces from the turkey carcass, enjoy it plain and simple paying homage big bird! “Thank you turkey, for making me a lean-mean-healthy machine!? Enjoy those turkey leftovers!

December 5, 2010 8:47 am Season's Greetings!!
Be the first to leave a comment.Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! To celebrate the holiday, we will be having a Christmas dinner party along with an open forum for our December 15th, 2010 support group meeting. The time is 6:30 until 8:00 p.m. Please bring your favorite recipe, whether it is a covered dish, salad, or dessert...make sure to include the written recipe so we can all share. What better way to celebrate the holiday than to chat with fellow WLS members, eat good food and add new recipes! Remember, you do not have to bring large portions...we do not eat much! Please email me @ [email protected] indicating you will be attending and your food selection or with regrets. This way we can be sure that our dinner will not just include all of one food group! Bottled water and decaf coffee will be furnished. So plan on having dinner at our December group meeting and chatting about any and everything! Look forward to hearing back from you with what delicious item you will be bringing. See you then. Terri Black Canton WLS Support Group RSVP requested no later than December 13, 2009 |
