I never would have believed.....

I just returned last night from our trip to my husbands family in Texas for Thanksgiving.  This was my first Thanksgiving since wls and was concerned a little.  Just got on the scale this morning and had lost 4 pounds since I had left on Wednesday.  This is the first time that I had ever lost weight over the holidays instead of gaining.  It was not as hard as I thought.  I did not feel deprived when everyone was eating their pies.  I think for the first time in a long time I concentrated on what the true meaning of Thanksgiving was and enjoyed in that moment.  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and I want to say "Thanks" to everyone for being there for support when we need it.

Becky,

That is wonderful. You should be so proud of yourself. I'm still waiting to get approved for surgery, but I thought about all the wls people on this website, and wondered how many of them were doing on their first Thanksgiving after wls. I hope the others did as well as you. Now, maybe you won't worry about the rest of the holidays, because you made it through the big one. Good luck and stay the course.

 

That is wonderful.  I was nervous too because this was my first Thanksgiving since WLS.  And like you, I came home to a loss.  I LOVE MY BAND!

I did not lose but I did not gain either, so I guess that is good, I am so stalled again, back and forth, from 191.5 to 192.5 UUUGGGHHH I was so hoping to see 189 at  Thanksgiving. AmyBeth
