Me too Yoda! Guess I'll be knee deep in StarWars after Christmas. Little son has on list for figures and lego (and elves have made lots) with Star Wars theme - but Mrs Claus isn't letting light sabre with all the bells and whistles in the house - annoying! Yoda is his favorite. HELP!!!!

.....but of course Yoda is his favourite!!! LOL.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah, that light sabre is keeeeeeeeeeeeewl. They have it at costco for a good price. Believe it or not I"m having the same trouble with Mr Yoda as you are with your 8 yr old!! HE wants that sabre too (he ain't gettin' it!!).

The Darth Vader Mr Potato Head is pretty kewl!

Well, hubby went out and braved the crowds to buy it for him - I'll not hear the end of it!! Boys will be boys. I think he thought it was too coooool not to get it. Sigh.....I'll have to take some tylenol to stop the headache I can feel coming on.

I haven't seen the Darth Vader Potatoe heads....now that would be coooooollll!

Okay, new year coming up and I feel the need to purge and refresh. I got out my 'rules to live by' from my surgeon, just to go over again. I thought I would share them with you guys, just in cause you feel the same as me.

1. Eat only 3 small meals a day, dense with Protein and fibre. I need to work on this.

2. Include 2 Snacks a day high in Protein, Vitamins and minerals. I need to work on this.

3. Restrict total meal size to less than 1 cup. I need to work on this.

4. Eat slowly - small bites, chew well(30 min/meal) stop eating as soon as you feel full.

5. Choose solid foods ONLY, after your soft diet. You will feel full longer.I'm not doing this as well as I should.

6. Do not eat and drink at the same time. Drink a minimum of 45-60 minutes after a meal and 15 before the next. I use to do this better.

7. Drink a minimum of 48-64 ozs of Water daily.

8. Avoid alcoholic and carbonated beverages. Ahh ya, hello, it's new years. No problem afterwards.

9. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day. 'hangs head low and walks away'

10. Take one chewable or crushed Multivitamin and Calcium supplement daily. This could be more consistant.

I guess you could call this the 10 commandments of lapbanders. I need to work on these things again, as you can see.

Happy New Year All!!!!

Well, thanks green, but actually I havent weighed myself since Christmas Eve. I'm kinda (really) scared. I'm gonna brave it tommorow - Jan 1st!!

Thanks for the list Cloe. I haven't seen the rules before. They probably gave them to me but I don't remember because of my (then) drug induced state.
