Well I guess I'm a Mayer too! My surgery was on May 17 of this year and I've lost 95lbs so far. I didn't even realize that there was even a May board.....I usually post on the RNY board but I'll be sure too check this too from now on.
Best to everyone,

you look great....good job. I think my surgery date was the same as yours.....I'm down 95 lbs and I feel great! Isn't this the most wonderful tool ever? Keep up the great work and good luck to your wife as well. It must be nice to have someone to go through this with that understands every part of what you go through and all the changes you experience.
Happy Thanksgiving- I think everyone here has a lot to be thankful for. I know I do!!
All the best,
Becky

Topic: I am Thankful for......
Ok, with it being Thanksgiving I thought we should take a moment to think about what we are all Thankful for with this amazing opportunity we have been given!
I am Thankful to have had the opportunity to have this surgery, and for the amazing doors it has already opened for me. I love talking to others about the surgery, helping with their questions, and just helping them make and informed descision!!
I am Thankful for all the changes in my life already from this surgery and it has just begun!!!! I am Thankful for all the things I can now share with my children that I could not do before!!!
I am Thankful for all the Mayers!!! The support I get here is wonderful, and I could not make it without each and every one of you!
I am Thankful that though my son was in the ER last night.....he responded to treatment and we made it home to cook dinner nad spend time with our family today!
So, what are you Thankful for?
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Well, sounds like you have a good plan that works for you , and you know I think it is ok for us to be selfish and taking time for US!!!
But it does take time for others to get used to the new us!
I am fortunate to have a lot of support with my family that is here and at work. In fact sometimes I forget about the new me. Last night I had to take my son to the ER with breathing difficulty....and I am standing there shaking....scared for him but my coworkers were looking at me and just smiling. See I wear what are now VERY baggy scrubs at work but I came in there with a fitted (never would I have worn that before) shirt and size 16 jeans that are already big in the waist but look great in the legs and they were just amazed and happy for me, and that is a wonderful feeling. 
I am looking forward to a wonderful (though slightly tired with just 2 hors sleep) day!!!!!

Cyndi is right.......you just need to be you! Perhaps it just takes others to catch up. If I had gone home to my side of the family I would be dealing with a lot of the same things that you are. However instead I took charge and I am cooking and since I get the satisfaction of cooking for others it does not bother me the FOOD. Sure I eat things and pick where I shouldn't but when I am busy cooking I never wanted to eat before surgery. Also I am controlling the menu and am making options I can eat!!!! So that is how I am getting around it.
Hang in there and just be firm.....you have to do what works for you! For me I have replaced my desire for food by feeding others LOL! I can't eat it but I cook and other people eat it.....teachers at school, work, family. So that is how I am changing that habit! But that is how I am getting out of my old bad habits! Making changes to hep this tool work and last the rest of my life because no matter what I will not go back!!!!!
Hope you have a wonderful day!!!
