After this weekend I am as ready for Christmas as I'll ever be! I just have to say Christmas Cookies are a little evil. I never wake up wanting a cookie until Christmas time!

My surgery is January 16th. I am 33, and I live in Colorado. I have 4 kids and have always struggled with weight issues. I am nervous and excited and would love to network, support and build friendships with other people who are making a huge lifestyle change. I know its going to be one of the biggest challenges I have ever faced. How are you guys feeling about it?

I'm very determined and excited to work my way down to my goal weight. I didn't think I had weight issues until I was 15. That's when I started to get picked on and laughed at. I am going to take this challenge on and accomplish it!!!

@ RSifers - I also feel like this is going to be the challenge of a lifetime! I'm nervous, but excited and hopeful also.

Have you January bandsters been telling people? I've been telling lots of friends and family about the procedure. The more people that know about my surgery, the more people I have in my "army" to support me.

I'm going on vacation in a couple days, and at the end of my vacation I start the pre-op diet. What a start to the new year!

I just got my date! I asked for Jan 16th so I could have a long Martin Luther weekend to recover. I got my date...whoo hoo! I wanted to connect with others for this time frame. So excited can't wait.

I also will get the lap band on this day as well.

Happy Christmas everyone. Isn't it great knowing how different Christmas next year will be for us all? Am so excited.

Nerves are really kicking in now. My op is on the 4th. Am I the first one of us to do it? I still can't quite believe I am going to do this. It's bonkers. But I am so excited for the results, I know me and this lapband are going to get on well together.

I have found (haven't tried yet) Isopure drink. It is about 46% Protein. Found in Vitamin shops for about $5. It looks like green tea in a clear glass bottle. Hope that helps.

      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.
