Christmas is my fav time of year. The house is decorated to the max - inside and out and I just love making snow families with my kids. We start making Christmas gifts after Halloween and have lots of fun baking Cookies for cookie tins in November to give to co-workers and teachers who are too busy (or not bakers) to enjoy the holiday cheer. food will definitely be a challenge this year with Thanksgiving at the in-laws, Halloween, and then all the Christmas festivities but I think with support we can all have a great holiday and have some fun being thin. I was just banded on 31 Aug so spirits are high but I'm sure as I've experienced before the head will get into games with me and I'll lose some of the current enthusiasm. :0)

My goal is to lose 25 lbs by Christmas - realistic?? I hope. Good luck all and have a great week.

I'd like to make a goal, but I don't know how to pick one. So I'm going to rip off the last person's goal.

Yeah, 25 pounds! We can do it!!!

Christmas isnt what it used to be for me. I dont put up trees, I dont wrap gifts and hubby and I dont even excange gifts...

Well, I dont think there will be a tree this year either, but if santa is listening, I would like him to send some holiday spirit my way...

Oh, and 25 lbs less of me would be great too.

Well Kee I don't claim to be Santa but I have been called his size before. Anyhow, I know you will have those 25 pounds gone by Christmas and of course it is not going to feel like Christmas if you don't decorate.

I suggest the Christmas decorating party/meeting is held at your house. Oh yeah you and hubby need to make an extravagant gift idea list. There is nothing wrong with wishing. I want a jet, a trip to paris, a Burken Bag, a pair of jimmy choooooosssss.......

      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.
