For 10 years my NYR has been to lose weight. I busted my butt, I exercised all the time, kept calories at 600 a day. I lost 100% of my excess weight.

I'm taking this coming year off.

>> I am through with tight, uncomfortable jeans--reminds me of when I was forever outgrowing all my clothes.

>> I will not use the handicapped stall in public restrooms just because there's more "elbow" room. I don't have fat elbows.

Unfortunately, my New Year's Resolution is to lose weight. (90 more lbs of F-A-T) In 2009 this will NOT be on my list!! WooHoo! I will be like Wasa. I want to go to Church more, spend more time with my husband, eat less and exercise more and get all A's and no B's (yea right lol) I hope everyone is successful!!! ;)

I am not banded yet and going thru the process. This year, I will give up soda. I figure it is not a good thing to have when I am banded, so no need for it now. I currently drink about 6cans a day, sometimes more or less. It sure won't hurt giving it up now. I can only imagine how hard it will be. I think it is the carbonation that has me addicited, not the caffeine. I will still have my coffee in the morning. Have a wonderful holiday!

I want to lose the rest of my weight. I don't remember who said this above but I totally agree, this will not be on next year's list.....for the first time in my life! I am so excited to see what this year brings. My one wish for this year is for confidence to consume my being! lol

Mine is going to be getting my house in order to sell.

School, weight loss, being a momma, being a sweetie, being a good daughter/sister is all covered.

I feel like I'm honing myself, not making giant changes.

Unfortunately, once again my NYR is to lose weight. I thought last year would be the last time, but I had so many problems with my band last year that it just didn't happen. But, things seem to be going fine now, so this year's resolution will be to take the remaining weight off.

I am so excited that I am going to start the year off banded!! It is going to be the best beginning of a new year in a long time. In 2008 I am going to work on losing at least 80 lbs, selling my book, and being a better mom and wife.

I'm with the some of the above. I am determined this is going to be my last Weight related New Year's resolution. But alas, my resolution is to finally start some serious exercise as opposed to walking around a mall once or twice a week and calling it exercise. And to lose whatever remaining weight I decide I need to lose. Sorry about being so vague on the second one but I just don't know how I will know what my goal weight will be until I'm finally there. Right now it feels like around 15-20 pounds but I just don't know.

My NYR will be to simplify my life, mainly my surroundings. Stop stock piling, clean closets, drawers, garage...go through everything and throw that crap away!!

Travel more, worry less, enjoy the second half of my life. Looking forward to new memories!

You know that was one I had last year, to unclutter my world.

I picked an area a month. Like kitchen cabinets, basement shelves, closets....

It worked like a charm for the first 6 months, I need to put that back on my list!

Mine is to get banded and sort out my health issues. After 15 years I've finally been diagnosed with PCOS and found a gyno prepared to help me - yes it has taken 15 years to find a Dr who is listening to me. Next is to be checked for endo.

My Mother was diagnosed as diabetic 2 days ago and I'm not going through that. So roll on 2008 so I can get banded.

      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.
