@GassyGurl thanks for your insight. I love your observation that you are in control and everyone else it out of control. I do feel out of control and so desperately need to take control of my life. @DropWt4Life I know 2nd thoughts are normal and I appreciate your comments. Did you feel like you had control of your eating prior to your surgery? I'm just thinking that if I had control, I could loose it without surgery. I know it's going to be an adjustment and a new way of living with food but I feel like I have tried to control it without surgery. Do you think it will be tougher for me b/c of sweet tooth? @StartingFresh Good to hear your recovery is going so well. Puts my mind at ease!

Thanks @Cas54 !! So good to hear your experience and that you feel so good. It's nice to hear positive feedback. Sounds like you are well on your way...

I'm curious when most people felt well enough to go to a show? I'm trying to plan for my surgery in late nov and between holidays and kids' events I'm really struggling. Do you think I will be able to sit through my daughter's ballet recital 7 days out? Maybe 10 days out? Will o be miserable on xmas if it's 10days post op. I do have young children so want to enjoy it with them. TIA

Thanks Danny!! Good idea. Time to go shopping and get ready.

Yes sitting. That's good to hear. Food will be hard but there will never be a good time to stay away from food... Thanksgiving will have to be my last holiday meal pre op. Thanks!!
