After this weekend I am as ready for Christmas as I'll ever be! I just have to say Christmas Cookies are a little evil. I never wake up wanting a cookie until Christmas time!

My surgery is January 16th. I am 33, and I live in Colorado. I have 4 kids and have always struggled with weight issues. I am nervous and excited and would love to network, support and build friendships with other people who are making a huge lifestyle change. I know its going to be one of the biggest challenges I have ever faced. How are you guys feeling about it?

I'm very determined and excited to work my way down to my goal weight. I didn't think I had weight issues until I was 15. That's when I started to get picked on and laughed at. I am going to take this challenge on and accomplish it!!!

@ RSifers - I also feel like this is going to be the challenge of a lifetime! I'm nervous, but excited and hopeful also.

Have you January bandsters been telling people? I've been telling lots of friends and family about the procedure. The more people that know about my surgery, the more people I have in my "army" to support me.

I'm going on vacation in a couple days, and at the end of my vacation I start the pre-op diet. What a start to the new year!

I just got my date! I asked for Jan 16th so I could have a long Martin Luther weekend to recover. I got my date...whoo hoo! I wanted to connect with others for this time frame. So excited can't wait.

I also will get the lap band on this day as well.

Happy Christmas everyone. Isn't it great knowing how different Christmas next year will be for us all? Am so excited.

Nerves are really kicking in now. My op is on the 4th. Am I the first one of us to do it? I still can't quite believe I am going to do this. It's bonkers. But I am so excited for the results, I know me and this lapband are going to get on well together.

I have found (haven't tried yet) Isopure drink. It is about 46% Protein. Found in Vitamin shops for about $5. It looks like green tea in a clear glass bottle. Hope that helps.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
