I will continue the updates tonight. I just wanted to jump in and post how many days till Christmas. Barbara, I am so sorry I forgot the PM. Just post here from now on and I won't forget :rofl: I will update the wish list tonight, so I will add those who want to be added, and get in the additional weigh ins.

I am actually off to target to do a little christmas shopping myself!! WOOHOO!!! I am also on my way to the craft store. Autumn is coming and I have some Thanksgiving crafts to do before we move into Christmas.

I would love to start shopping for my family now! But I have a big problem! they are all getting to old. Oh how I miss having young children in the family. My Sons are 27 & 21 my daughter in law is 26. ( she will always get a Barbie from me!) and no grandchildren yet! ( boo hoo). I just need some ideas for them. I was thinking of a family trip to Reno in January. Just paying the room for them and maybe airfare. I just think it would be fun.

any other ideas?

Hi, again...I just responded to your prayer request on the prayer thread...

Family trips are so great! If you think your family would love it, then do it! We took a family trip to Disneyworld Christmas 2004, and my mom passed away the following summer. That trip has a very, very special place in our family's hearts forever.

There is no price on memories, and they can never be sold in a garage sale! LOL!

I love the idea of a family trip. Soon will come the day when they can't or won't go so now is the time. Once the grandchildren start arriving you will be going to their house for Christmas. You can then buy all the cute clothes and toys.

I thought I'd try to post some Christmas Pics in case anyone wanted them for craft projects or emails to friends. Lets see if this works and isn't too huge lol If you right click on it you can save the pictures to a Christmas Folder on your PC. You can use them for home made cards, emails, ornaments etc. (Funny...should a Christmas Picture Thread be started so we don't make this thread too huge? What do you think?)

Posted a few maybe they'll be links so not so much space is taken. Found some holiday tags in format folks can use too. I'll post those next.

Oh I don't mind if this thread gets too big. I want to keep all the christmas stuff in one thread so that we keep our seasonal craziness from overloading the lounge. LOLI wouldn't want anyone to get annoyed that there are too many christmas threads this far from christmas.

Those pics are great tho!!! I have a lot of uses for some of them.

Something I am doing this year is taking some left over wrapping paper with christmas images, and decoupaging the cutout images onto large glass ornaments. Modpodge has a glittery version that is really nice for this. I am doing sets of six, and the family is signing them, then we are giving them away as our family gift this year.

OK I've decided to have two Christmas parties this year. One an open house on a Saturday night. The second will be on a Sunday afternoon. This is going to be fun. Here's last year's whimisical tree. It was done in all red/white ornaments.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
