Heather, count me in too. I will be a Sub. Secret Sam also. Will you be sending us a PM. letting us know who to send a Sub. gift too as time goes on. Cause if we just wait and watch who posts who did not get a gift then how do we know which one of us Sub's will send a gift. Am I the only one who does not get this...LOL Sorry if i have confused any one.

I will PM you my info.

I'd like to join!

Just out of curiosity, what kinds of gifts do you usually send?

Hey Gwen. I'm new at this also, but what I think is that after you get your Sam, you can read some of their previous posts to try and find out things about them to see what they like. Also if you have some specific questions you can PM me and I'll pass them along to your Sam.

Hehe, no ur not the only one. Jenna had to explain it to me! Well, as soon as we see some people aren't getting gifts I'll PM the Sam that was supposed to buy to see why they haven't sent a gift. If I get no response then I'll PM one of the subs to send a gift. I'll use the subs in the order that they signed up in. I already have quiet a few, so hopefully it won't be a problem. I hope that answers your question.

On another note, I have a question...is it ok for me to participate in the exchange? I noticed that Kimberlilly received a gift, but she didn't buy for any one. I'd like to buy for some one and recieve...is that ok?? Since I'm the one that started it I wasn't sure if I could participate or not.

Aside from that, I probably won't be answering any Pm's tomorrow or Thursday as I will be going in for my surgery, but don't worry, I should be back late Thursday night or Friday.

Thanks every one!

Thanks Heather for clearing that up for me.

Also I think that YES, you should be able to participate in the exchange.

Lets hope everyone follows through this time so we don't have to send Uncle Sam after them to collect. LOL

lol, thanks Angel! I just wanted to clear it first to make sure it was ok. And I hope every one follows through as well, there were a few more from the Easter challenge who didn't get their gifts and I hope that doesn't happen here, but again I am going to do the follow up confirmation e mails and if I don't get a response then that person can't participate. Hopefully that will help with that problem.

Hi....this is my first time reading about a gift exchange thingy. I just have a couple of questions (didn't really find the answers when I did a search). Are they anonymous? Is that the point? Also...is there a monetary limit?

And finally.....can the gifts be anything?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
