I hope everyone had a very merry christmas. I didn't meet my Christmas challenge, missed it by 2# but I'm ready for a new one. Valentine's day sounds like a good one. So when do we want to start, Jan 1st, or 2nd? I have a feeling that 2007 is going to bring many good :clap2: changes for all of us and I can't wait.

HI All

I hope everyone had a safe and peaceful holiday. I didn't join you guys in the Christmas challenge, not sure why. I have been stagnant for a long time, about a month. I had a 2nd fill last week and have been getting a lot stuck over the weekend.

Anyway, I definitely think a V-Day challenge is a great idea. I almost thinnk we should start right away and forget about waiting until the new year (how many times have we started a diet on Jan 1st;) ).

Whats the magic # this time?? Its 7 weeks from today. I think 15 sounds reasonable and attainable but we could shoot for 20 if the majority wants????

Hey all. I hope Santa Claus was good to all of you. Santa wasn't that good to me, but Mrs. Santa sure made up for it!

I agree with you ThreeBeauties....now is as good a time to start as any. And 15 pounds should be attainable. But whatever y'all decide, old Jimboss is in on it!

Everyone have a SAFE one this New Year's Holiday! And by the way, this is the first time in my life that I relish being a "loser"! Whew!

Hi All!

hope your holiday weekend was wonderful!

Back at work today... YUCK.

Didn't make the Christmas Challenge... lost 4.5... was kinda down about that but its still losing.

Todays my 2 month bandiversary and 27 pound in 2 months still makes me smile.

I kept saying my xmas present to myself would be cheekbones and I think you can see the difference in my face so all in all I think we're all doing great.

My 2007 bring us all sorts of wonderfulness!

Hi Everyone (again)

Like I said earlier, I ddin't join the Christmas challenge but I am so proud of all of you. We are all doing great!!

I don't think it makes one bit of difference whether any of us met the goal or not. In my opinion, whats important is that we have a goal and we continue to move forward and make progress. That is why I want to join the Valentines Day Challenge. I will do my best to make the challenge but its the comraderie and support that I am really interested in.

Good luck, may cupid bring us cheekbones, hip bones, clothes that fit and an overall sense of well-being:)

I agree, it is very realistic. Especially when they say 6 to 8Lbs. a month is the norm! I haven't even had my first fill yet, and I am averageing 7Lbs. a month. So it should be do-able "hope I spelled that rght." for a lot of people. So common all you bandsters. Lets start doing this as soon as you can, because valentine's day is not that far away.

By the way in the beginning of February. I go in for Total Knee Replacement. I don't no if I will be able to step on a scale, but I will

surely try. Happy New Year every one... Shirley...:clap2:

      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.
