Hello

Just saying hello...I seem to come and go...Hoppe all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving? Mine was there is about all I can say. The first one after WLS. all i could do is drool. I did get my fill...but the sweets well you know. Now let;s see how Christmas goes........

Doug

Doug, the first holiday set is the hardest. I think you are still mourning food the first go round. After that it is a little easier!

Karla

Thanks Karla...It's not too bad i have my mind on the ultimate prize and it's not that pecan pie

DOUG-as Karla said-the "firsts" can be so tricky-but it WILL get better. SO much of it mental..learning new ways to adapt, without turning to FOOD for everything, etc.

The first "holiday party" after my WLS was a big 4th of July BBQ. I wound up in the host's bathroom,crying my fool eyes out- because I couldn't have a jello shot-and I didn't even LIKE jello shots-but knowing I could NOT have them, then, just threw me into a meltdown

Hang in there-post often-let the folks here get to know you-I promise it REALLY will help. There are worlds of experience to learn from here, and everyone is eager to share
