I had surgery sept 27 and I'm down 42lbs.. I've been on track with my diet but for some reason I have the holiday blues.. Any suggestions or advice!!

I was banded a couple weeks before you and I'm down about 50 lbs so we're right where we belong. I don't

know what your family situation is, but if I was in your position, I'd have Thanksgiving with my family (or as close

as I could get) and have dinner, in reasonable quantities, and try to enjoy myself as much as possible.

I've been through a lot of holidays with people who were miserable because they couldn't repeat the experience

they had as children. If you have a family, try to make these times as pleasurable as possible for them, and

maybe you'll find that you bring yourself out of your funk, as well. Anyway, have a happy Thanksgiving.

Are you bummed because you won't be able to enjoy the foods you used to eat?

Many people get blue during the holidays for many different reasons.

Hey Victoria - you are only blue because of Thankgiving being a FOOD Holiday. Go buy yourself something "smaller" than you wore a few months ago, put on a happy face and enjoy the food with everyone else (only smaller portions). You will be fine - just take a look in the mirror everytime you feel a sad moment coming on. This is a new you and you have so much to be proud of..hang in there. Remember, CHristmas is coming and then more food, but you will even be smaller then - woo hoo.....Celebrate !!!!!
