Happy November everyone!! I just love November, not only because Thanksgiving is my favorite Holiday but because my Birthday is this month also!!! Every few years my Birthday actually falls right on Thanksgiving and as a child that was always so much fun because we got to have a big cake after dinner!
I do have some concerns as we enter the holiday season however. Holidays means you eat more than normal and combine the 2 and your extended family is always around and my family knows NOTHING about me having the lap band. I'm actually pretty thankful that I had to get my band unfilled, hopefully this will make it a little less obvious that I can't eat as much as all of them. If you don't know, my mom, dad, and husband are the only one's who know that I have the band. I have not told anyone else because I don't want to be under a microscope and I know so many of them would be like "why did you do that?" They wouldn't get it. I assume one day I will tell them, but that is one day very far away from now!
Can some of you veterans out there give me some tips/advice or any comments that might help me out this holiday eating season??

What day is your birthday? Mine is Nov 25th. I love the holidays too, it's my favorite time of the year!
I'm curious to see if you get any answers from some veterans. I'm actually going to get a little fill this week to hopefully make me a little stricter for the holidays.
You know, if anyone asks why you are eating such tiny amounts just tell them the whole reason you lost weight is because of portion control. It's what I would do.. most def. And just try to stick with stuff that won't get stuck (huh? lol) so that you don't have any episodes in front of them. I am yet to go through all this too - as like you - not many people know about it and I will have to deal over Xmas as well.
PS Happy Birthday for this month xx Hope you have a great time.
Hey everyone! Thanks for the responses so far!! Susie my birthday is the 23rd!! Happy early B-day to you!
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday too, I love to cook (and eat). I'm wondering how things are gonna be this year. I plan to try a little of everything, but who knows what my band will let me do that day. I don't blame you for not telling people, all of my family knows but no one in my husbands family knows and I actually wish I didnt tell my family either. I feel like i'm under a microscope and everyone is just watching to see If i keep losing. Too much pressure!
