Mousecrazy, got you added. Welcome to the christmas wish list!

Nana, do you have a wish to add to the list? Either a weight or a personal wish for yourself?

Everyone else :rolleyes: I hope all is well. I actually am doing the same as Nana and starting to address and do all of my christmas cards. if I don't do it now they will get out the day after christmas. I like to try and send them out the day after Thanksgiving. That way i know they have plenty of time to get to everyone.

I think that because Christmas is the time that the whole family gets together, and that most of them I will not see until that time, I want to make a huge difference in my appearance for my next visit with them. I want them to see that not only I could do it, but that the band was not the huge mistake they think it is. :rolleyes: I hope they will Celebrate with me in whatever weight loss victory i have by that point, but I really hope that I get my wish for Christmas and get almost halfway to goal.

Count me in!!!!!!! My goal is to be at 205 by Christmas!! I am currently at 230 and I have been at a standstill for about 2 weeks! SO hopefully this is the kick in the butt that I need! I to LOVE Christmas! It's been fun ready all of your Christmas memories, ideas and recipies.

Our fun tradition we started in our family about 4 years ago is playing dirty Santa and Christmas trivia. Since most of the family is over 20 years of age (with the exception of my 2 little ones and my cousin's two new babies) we decided to do the dirty gift exchange and call it Dirty Santa! (this is where everyone who wants to participate brings a gift at a 25.00 value and we draw numbers and #1 grabs a gift , opens it and then #2 grabs a gift and can either take #1's gift or grab an unopened gift, then you keep going until all #'s have gotten a gift. We had to put a 3-steal limit on it! It can get pretty crazy in our family! We usually have about 15 people participating! After this is done, my aunt gets us all together to do Christmas trivia. She has a bunch of x-mas related trivia questions and the winner of each questions gets a Lottery Ticket.

Good luck to all of you on completing your goals!!!!!!! Thanks Funny for starting such a fun thread!!

Awright awright awright!!!! I come into this thread kicking and screaming and grumbling and mumbling and rolling my eyes, okay already!!!!!!:rolleyes:

I saw Cindy's (mousecrazy) sig with the Christmas Challenge and HAD to come, now I'm reading through the thread feeling like a dope because I am NOT crafty and giddy and I don't decorate a tree in each room with THEMES?! for goodness sakes!

However, I would like to be at my Tummy Tuck goal weight by Christmas. And I would like to send out my Christmas cards this year. Forget on time, I just want to get them sent out. I missed them last year. :) DOH!

So, in a way, this really is a thread for me, even though I'm a dope, I just don't wanna be such a good one! LOL

Join/Goal/Current? is that It? Nope it's J/G/C...here, I'll fix it.

J 179.2/ C 179.2 /G 165

And I will have my card envelopes addressed BY Thanksgiving. I will have them mailed by Dec 10th. All of them, with a picture of the kids enclosed. So there.

Thanks to all you nutso freaks out there. :heh:

Its the quietness the season offers... the air seems to be filled with peace... the joyfulness in strangers voices... the willingness to help those in need... communities actually work together... neighbors speak to each other instead of just waving by... people seem to have a little more patience with each other... friends/family make special plans to visit one another... more laughter, more kindness, more love during this time.

Christmas IS magical.

THAT's it for me, too! I love that, Paula. Thanks!

Ok Funny......well stepped on the scale and I gained 2 pounds while on my cruise. Thankfully it was only 2 pounds...whew! I'm loving my band, I know it would of been more than that if I didn't have it! So I'm starting at 230 and i'd like to be in wonderland by Christmas that would take 31 pounds but, I'll say 35. I'd like to weigh 195 by Christmas....ohhh pretty please Santa hee hee

      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.
