Fill before Thanksgiving?

Yes, there have been a lot of great responses. I'm so glad I posted this question just to see what other thoughts were. I'm still undecided but leaning toward keeping the appointment because I am already sliding out of control with food intake so I need to put a stop to it. Thanks for all the great replies!!

I had my fill today and  I choose to move forward because I am trying to give up the obession around food.  We chose to have this surgery because we needed some help.  But we have to do our part and so learning how to have some control is where we should start.  Good Luck with your decision 

I called and talked to the nurse about getting my first fill tomorrow. My concern is that my band is tighter now due to TOM and I didn't want to get a fill only to lose restriction in a week or two later. We thought it was best to wait until the week after Thanksgiving due to 1. its my first fill. 2. I have some restriction and know when I'm full. 3. it was stink to get stuck over the holidays.

We're not fixing Thanksgiving dinner but rather eating out. So I'm ordering a child's plate and bringing any leftovers home. We have a potluck at church Sunday but I'm putting food on a dessert plate so I won't be tempted to fill up a big plate. My husband knows that I'm nervous about overeating but I have been doing a good job limiting myself.

Good luck!

I have my first fill scheduled 2 days before Thanksgiving, and I am still going through with it even though it is right before Thanksgiving. I'm just like you, right now I have ZERO restriction, and while I'm doing okay on eating, I am eating way more than the 1/2 cup. I'm staying below 1000 cals a day, but I know I haven't lost anything in almost a month. . . Good luck! ! !
