It is a good thing this Thanksgiving was our quiet year, where I could vary the menu from the ghastly gastric gluttonous feast our family usually puts forth. We are having a simple dinner of coho salmon, mashed sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli. Pumpkin pie for dessert. Still sounds like too much food for someone who is struggling with a partial blockage that has me weak and shaky. I think my days of over-indulgence are long past. However, I do wish I could enjoy a meal without wondering if one of my many twists and turns (I have Crohn's in addition to a j-pouch and two small hernias)is going to become a show-stopper.
What do you all do with these food-oriented holidays if you can't eat?
