I know what I'm going to do

I finally made my decision on what I'm going to do  about my WSL date.........for those of you that don't know I can have my WLS in Nov but I was worried that it was so close to the Holidays that I was going to wait till Jan to have it done......well I'm going to go ahead and have it in Nov

Good for you.  I had mine done in November and have no regrets whatsoever.  There will be other holidays and you can still enjoy your holidays, just with less food.  Trust me, there is more to holidays then food.  LOL.  I am very proud of you.  Hang on for the ride of your life.

get your show on the road thats what i would do too!!  congratulations on your decision!!  lisap

Good decision.  It just shows that you're really ready for the necessary lifestyle changes.  Congrats.

WooHoo....good for you!

Thank you all very much for all the support.You all mean so much to me!!!!

good choice - honestly my first Cmas post op was the easyest to eat right

It's amazing how much you can enjoy the holidays without having to eat all the time.  I think we all grew up around food and holidays.  My first Christmas was so nice.  For the first time I felt like I was in control of my eating.  I don't just eat to eat I can enjoy what I eat and then enjoy the time with family and friends.  I don't have to have food around me all the time.  I will say it is getting harder but when I leave an event and have made the right choices I am so proud of myself.  YOu will be glad you made this decision.  This is the best gift for the holiday you can give yourself.

Hi Shell,
I too had my surgery done in Nov. and yes, by Thanksgiving I could "taste" what the others were eating.  (Although IMO, u won't miss a thing, because you won't be hungry...the real and head hunger comes later...)  There would be no reason for you to wait until AFTER the holidays.  The holidays are a PERFECT time to have surgery.  You will be on the way to eating healthier and making better choices.  I wish you TONS of success!
