Official Winter Exchange Sign Up

Okay people, you know the drill. For newbies, this is how it works:

Send me a pm with your name and address. Also mention a few things about yourself, any thing that might help your SS (Secret Santa) pick a gift for you. And for those of you that have been around for awhile please mention if you would be interested in being a substitute should the need arise.

On November 25th, sign up is closed, and I will then send a confirmation pm to you verifying your address, and that you are still interested in the exchange. You have until November 30th to respond and then on December 1st, the names will go out. If you don't respond to me by the 30th I will assume you no longer want to participate.

The guidelines are around $25 including shipping, but as we all know it's the thought that counts. Some of the most beautiful gifts have been hand made and some of the most thoughtful gifts have been less then $10.

You can send your gifts at any time once you have your name, early gifts are always welcome, but please make sure your gift arrives no later then the 25th of December and as we all know, mail is a lot slower at this time of year so please plan accordingly.

Please, Please, Please ONLY sign up if you intend to stick around and see it through. A lot of people sign up and just never come back to LBT, and there is an actual person on the other end of this thing who doesn't get a gift because of that. Please remember we are all real people here, not just faceless computers.

Merry Christmas and let the exchange begin!

Good idea about posting gift ideas! There are so many new people around here that I have had a hard time in the past coming up with ideas.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
