If you exchange gifts in your family or with your friends, the holidays can be the perfect time to ask for a few items that will help you lose weight. You might ask for some new spices to flavor your foods without adding calories, a recipe book of healthy recipes, some Protein Bars, or a pillow to come home with after the surgery.

Or, you might be the type of person who wants to use the holidays and gift exchanges as a way to escape thoughts of weight loss, and the items on your list might be as far from weight loss as possible.

How do you approach your holiday gift list? What do you have on yours? Are the items strictly practical, or are they a little more whimsical or luxurious than you would usually get for yourself? Share the fun of your list here!

I don't have many things on my list because my husband and I are saving for Ireland. However, I have my eye on a pair of high top shoes that are colorful...something very whimsical and I would have NEVER wanted before. But having lost weight I new don't feel self conscious wearing things that will bring attention. I always wanted a pair of Vans as well, but never thought of myself worthy of them being so heavy. This year, I'm getting the Vans. ;)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
