Christmas Lovers Thread



Recommended Posts

Christmas is my fav time of year. The house is decorated to the max - inside and out and I just love making snow families with my kids. We start making Christmas gifts after Halloween and have lots of fun baking Cookies for cookie tins in November to give to co-workers and teachers who are too busy (or not bakers) to enjoy the holiday cheer. food will definitely be a challenge this year with Thanksgiving at the in-laws, Halloween, and then all the Christmas festivities but I think with support we can all have a great holiday and have some fun being thin. I was just banded on 31 Aug so spirits are high but I'm sure as I've experienced before the head will get into games with me and I'll lose some of the current enthusiasm. :0)

My goal is to lose 25 lbs by Christmas - realistic?? I hope. Good luck all and have a great week.

I'd like to make a goal, but I don't know how to pick one. So I'm going to rip off the last person's goal.

Yeah, 25 pounds! We can do it!!!

Christmas isnt what it used to be for me. I dont put up trees, I dont wrap gifts and hubby and I dont even excange gifts...

Well, I dont think there will be a tree this year either, but if santa is listening, I would like him to send some holiday spirit my way...

Oh, and 25 lbs less of me would be great too.

Well Kee I don't claim to be Santa but I have been called his size before. Anyhow, I know you will have those 25 pounds gone by Christmas and of course it is not going to feel like Christmas if you don't decorate.

I suggest the Christmas decorating party/meeting is held at your house. Oh yeah you and hubby need to make an extravagant gift idea list. There is nothing wrong with wishing. I want a jet, a trip to paris, a Burken Bag, a pair of jimmy choooooosssss.......

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
