Thanks I am trying to focus more on the positive side of things rather than the negative. I gave too much energy to it last week. The one good thing about this Christmas is that my mom is in the same process as me so I think my family will behave during this time. I am also starting to think that I picked a good time. I start my 3 month supervised diet early next month and surgery's not until May....I will have plenty of time to get used to my new eating before next Thanksgiving and Christmas. I just need to stay positive and I know I'll get through it. Thanks again Molly

Don't beat your self up for talking to your friends about your troubles. That's what friends are for, right? The holidays are sooooo hard. I'm going to try and have a step by step plan for the 24th and 25th. I'm frustrated to about this time of year. I feel like I'm gonna gain it all back! Just keep focusing on surgery. It's the best thing that has ever happened to me.

That is awesome! You will feel so much better! Quiting smoking and dieting are really a good combination. You don't replace one with the other that way. I had people tell me that I should concentrate on one or the other but I completely disagree. I say blow it all up at one time! ha ha.

Congratulations! It's an exciting feeling to know that you are doing something good for yourself. I'm at the same phase that you are in right now. I'm having to follow a 6 month diet plan (per insurance) before I can get the surgery. I'm about 2 months into my diet right now. It's nice to be able to talk to other people who know exactly how you feel and are going through the same trials. Best of luck to you!

I just got word I was approved today and was scheduled for surgery. It happened so much faster than I thought and I hope it is the same for you!
