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.......

        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
