 |  confessions of a poor eating at THANKSGIVING:
OKAY....
its very quiet around here this weekend.
I hope no one is down about how they ate
or choices they made.
I will go first and say what i did. LAST year was
easier for me then this year but i guess i survived.
We had dinner at my FIL's place.....about 45 mintues
after we got there food started being served...
appetizers first....shrimp...yummy protein figure i
can have couple of those...next came some baked
clams.....had to have one of those.....then was home
made soup i had few mouthfuls of that... starting to feel
full.....but feeling im doing okay and only had very little soup.
BUT worrying in my head how am i gonna get any of the main
meal down and have room . Well i take my plate.....turkey, greenbeans,
1/4 piece of a yam shared with my son and hubby, little nibble of stuffing,
cranberry sauce....and i continue to eat........
Well i did pretty good......enjoyed the meal...ate an okay amount. MORE
then a weight loss surgery patient should but i ate and enjoyed. BY now
my youngest son had been drinking so much soda being it was a holiday and allowed he needed to go potty so i went to help him...and thats when i refunded my entire meal. SO i am happy my tool worked and it didnt allow me to get away with my overeating that got me morbidly obesite.
I just wish i knew how to stop sometimes at the right time and not push it.
BUT with that i still enjoyed my holiday.
I dont mind refunding things.
AND its back on track monday morning with
extra workouts for me this week.
HOW did you fair?????
lets all share.....!
I did use my 3 bite rule for the pumpkin pie dessert.
I was bad and didnt make the pumpkin mousse as i posted
on here and wanted too!
I am gonna make tonight for our home feast with ham dinner
were having here
ONE HOLIDAY DOWN more parites and gatherings to come!
NEXT party is next saturday for me!

I did very well for being 4 weeks post op mostly puree stlye foods a bit of oh soo yummy ham . I know what you mean about not knowing when to stop eating. I havn't had the pleasure of refunding yet but I am a newbee .When I was in nutrition classes she(teacher) had stressed that you would feel full in the middle of your chest , I think I can eat about
5 oz of (pureed food)and then I just stop myself cuz I know I am not suspose to eat that much . well I should thank God I havn't had any proublems so far (knock wood).
Well I am going out of town for a few days ,catch up with ya all in a few days see ya

I used to do better last year.
A year later i am able to eat more
so im still adjusting to my stage...
i used to get the pain thing in the middle of my
chest that told me when to stop but that
dont happen as much now.
ITS all learning and good habits and
alot more displine now.
I am glad you did so well on your pureed stage
and keep up the great work and that scale will reward you.

|  Ooooh I'm SOOO THANKFUL!!!
Thankful that the THANKSGIVING Holiday is OVER!!! I love the holiday the most...and it's all surrounding my "growing up" with the holiday weekend being a celebration...and my birthday! I did really well...and had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I didn't overeat, but wish I would've concentrated on more PROTEIN - Turkey...etc. - instead of the other things!! We went to our friends house in Jersey City...and when we arrived they had hors d'oeuvres....some artichoke spinach dip....and a wonderful cream cheese/preserve both with chips and crackers. (That was great, and I had a couple bites of all) Then an hour or so later we had turkey, stuffing, creamed corn, green beans, and potatoes. I had some of everything - I especially loved the stuffing & potatoes! Wish I would've concentrated on the TURKEY! LOL.... Here we are getting ready to eat...My friend who is visiting is Mara next to the window...and my friend Steph is in front! ~ Dinner was DELISH!!!  Later a hour or so after dinner....we had coffee, and I had a little bit of bailey's in it. I didn't have a reaction...and didn't even feel light headed. So I think I handled that well too!!! The part that was awful...is we left late from our friends...rode the train home...and then ate some pecan pie - this was not good for me, even though I only had 3 bites! I think I had that hypoglycemic thing happen...and went to bed sick! I didn't feel that well AT ALL yesterday....everything I ate didn't sit well....and last night I went to bed sick again. Thankfully, today's eating has been great and normal...no sickness! So, I must be back to normal! How'd everyone else do??

Okay so I think that there was something in the air regarding Thanksgiving pie that day...lol. I did pretty good too at dinner and only ate a small bite of everything that looked good, but then later when I tried one small bite of my daughter's butterscotch pie....it was heart beating fast and sweating...the whole nine yards of not feeling good for a good amount of the evening. I haven't had any previous experiences like that with sugar with the exception of a part of a junior frosty from Wendy's a couple days before. I am thinking that I am getting the dumping syndrome a little late, but it actually works out perfect for me to have this reaction right now for the Holidays to keep me in line, and I am extremely grateful for it. I was even grateful for it while it was happening...lol.

Thanksgiving at home was rather non excitement. Hubby doesn't "do" turkey and I can't digest it. Soooooooooooo, He had shrimp cocktail and fettucini shrimp alfredo.
I had 2 small shrimp diced(no alfredo sauce or pasta) and some green beans.

I did pretty good. I mostly stuck to the 3 bite rule and quit eating just before I got full. I did have 3 bites of peach pie, but my mom made the pumpkin mouse from Lisa's receipe and it was great I almost felt guilty eating it except I knew it was sugar free. I managed to still lose a few lbs so all in all Thanksgiving went well. Now its just surviving the next round.
