I was worried about my first family holiday meal too, and found my sleeve made it a lot easier than I thought. Plan ahead and stick to your plan.
Bring cider for your before dinner drink. It's a nice gift for the host/hostess
Appetizers..... a piece of cheese, an olive, or your favorite dip on a piece of cucumber. 3 bites is all you want or need.
Dinner is easier! Start with turkey and gravy. I then had room for 3 bites of my favorite sides,cranberries, veggies and a bite of stuffing.
I didn't have room for more than one bite of pumpkin pie and in holidays since, have skipped the pies completely in favor of another bite of stuffing.
Tasting a bit of all my favorites let me celebrate, my new habit of eating slowly, chewing, and really tasting the food, helped too. I found I had more time to converse and listen to my family, for me a good thing.
You can do this. Have fun and enjoy.

I pretty much just have one bite of this and one bite of that. At only 2 months you won't be able to eat more anyway. Just listen to your pouch!

Oh the first post-op Thanksgiving, Christmas and the holiday stress! It can get to you...if you let it. I was lucky enough to have a very supportive family, and I hope you do too. I always sit next to my son at the dinner table. He knows exactly what I can and cannot eat. You have to be choosy at the big family meals. I stuck (and still do) to protein choices and a few veggies. Passing up the dessert table can be a little difficult, but the consequences of "going all in" is FAR more difficult. My son loads his plate with dessert choices and asks me what I want ONE BITE of. He is so precious and my main source of support. I am able to eat ONE BITE of any ONE dessert I choose. It's so much fun trying to make that one bite decision!

enjoy just don't over do it.

lol! my pre op liquid diet encompassed Thanksgiving that year. I had to cook for and clean up after a family feast and couldn't even taste it! I felt so deprived! Now can laugh about it. I survived.

This year no one could come so I plan a burger and fries. That's living dangerously.

Even at five years PO (as of 11/19), I continue to use smaller plates. Usually it's a salad plate, but at just two months PO, it was a bread plate. At a feast like Thanksgiving, I just put a couple of teaspoons of each item on my plate, and still, I can rarely finish. At two months PO, I suggest you focus on the turkey with a little gravy, and then see how you feel. I know that at two months PO, I could only ingest about a quarter of a cup of anything at one time. :)

Thank you all, I really appreciate all of the great advice! Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Farmgirl makes a good point with the small plates. I'm over 5 years too and I still use small plates with just a small amount in the middle. You can do this!

Thanks all for the comments. I am almost three months out from surgery. Thanksgiving isn't an issue for me but I will be hosting Christmas dinner. I too plan on a little bite of my favorite things. I will be making sugar free pumpkin custard for me as I did last year. I have been off sugar above 5 grams for almost 1 1/2 years and plan to stay away from stuffing, which I love. I will have bites of grilled sweet potatoes, cranberry, Jello. I too use a small plate. In fact at this time I am using a bread plate for my meals.
Thanksgiving Blessings to all!!
