Is everyone ready for the Christmas holidays? I can't wait to get home tomorrow and see my family

[slinkielovin 58]

My kids are more than ready! They can't wait! They are so excited for it I think they may burst this year!

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?

[slinkielovin 58]

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.

Hi-

My surgery is scheduled for Jan 10th. I am 38 and have a little girl, who is my world!! So excited and nervous!!!

@desertpixie. I do Crossfit also and love it!!! I can't wait to be able to do pull-ups without a band and be able to run faster!!!

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.

New Years new life. Getting banded on Jan 7th. Have you all decided/ found a Protein supplement you enjoy?

[msirish 68]

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.
