I to have had trouble losing lately but I can say it is probably because I have not been exercising at all while planning my daughters wedding. The wedding was on Halloween (couple & guests in costume) and now I can concentrate on getting back to a schedule of walking, etc. I am going to make my goal by Christmas!

You are all so wonderfully ambitious to set such goals over the holidays. For me, I hoping not gain any weight between Thanksgiving & Christmas. I know myself too well, and the band won't curb me eating all the holiday goodies/drinks I like. I'm going to have to rely on will power and hopefully moderation. I don't want to push my luck on setting a high goal, as I'll probably wind up binging.

Wishing you all will power and success.

I want in too. I want to have lost a total of 50 pounds by Christmas. That's 12 pounds which is okay by me since I am such a slow loser now.

I’m definitely in! I want to be in Onederland by my birthday which is January 27th. I’ve been losing about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds a week, so I think 15 pounds will push me and keep me on track to reach my birthday goal.

      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.
