The Holidays are coming up!



Recommended Posts

Is anyone else kinda nervous about Thanksgiving and Christmas? This is my first holiday season as a bandster, so I'm kinda scared. Any advice? Thanks!

My family go out for lunch most years, but this year I said that it would be silly of me to come cause I won't be eating much and its $150 per person, luckily I never have to pay. Also my family Celebrate it on the Gold Coast which is a three hour drive each way. My husbands family always have us over the day after Christmas which I think i'll get out of by saying I have organized to visit my family that day, I never like the spread they put on its always disgusting and most of the time they give you jelly, custard, tin fruit and cream for desert which I really hate, but their sweets after desert are to die for. If I could just skip to the sweets i'd go but they don't know i'm banded and never will. I am not going to buy any Christmas food because I know I will eat it and I figure everyone else will have Christmas food. I just adore Christmas food, fruit mince pies, stollen, ginger bread, christmas cake with marzapan & thick icing, plum pudding with brandy custard, Glühwein, i'm going to miss it going straight to my thighs this year. Oh well. I figure seeing as I am not a big fan of Christianity I shouldn't be doing the christmas thing anyway, but I do believe in Santa Clause and i've been an extremely good girl this year so I will be accepting all presents and cash.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
