Well, I decided to listen to my husband and not worry about getting a fill until after the holidays. I just feel like a failure because that would mean that this year I only lost 25 lbs. I am paranoid about gaining. And I just want this to be done, because I have no patience. Anyway, done complaining. I will try for a stress free holiday season, and maybe I won't weigh myself for a while.

For anyone who wants to use the database to record their loss, here is the link:

This is strictly for those who want to use it.... I'm still keeping track of losses the same way we started.

Good luck on Friday, all. :biggrin:

Thanks Julie, you know I heart the spreadsheet!

I have lost 5 so far, and 5 to go!:biggrin:

For those that like to track their own weight loss, I set up a spreadsheet for the Christmas Challenge.

I based it on the Halloween Challenge with a few changes.

There are columns for each week. If you like using the spreadsheet, you can report each weekly loss here. Of course you can continue to report your losses to Julie.

If you are comfortable sharing your weight, you can put your starting weight in Column C and your goal weight in Column E. If you don't like sharing your weight (and for most folks, I didn't know their start and goal weight), I just used the number of pounds you wanted to lose by Christmas as your start weight and zero (0) as your goal weight. So if you don't like sharing your actual weights, you can use your goal loss as your weight.

When it is your weigh-in day, you simply enter your weekly loss under the appropriate date and pounds lost/left to lose will calculate.

Have fun.... losers!

Spreadsheet here.

Hi RobinAnn,

I have updated my info on the spreadsheet and then added it to my favorites to see if it will be easier to find this time round. Thanks for setting this up - I really like it.

Glad you like it Mary. And glad you posted because that caused me to go look at it again and notice that I had the dates wrong (but you entered yours correctly). I changed the rest to match the actual dates of the challenge.

Here it is again (click the graphic below)

I've found a car to be cheaper...

SuperShuttle costs $19 each way. I've usually been able to get a car for .... what the heck has happened to car rental rates???? This fall I was able to get a car for approx. $25/day. Now they are showing in the $70s....

I guess I'd go for the SuperShuttle. SUPERSHUTTLE

      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.
