I GOT A DATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOHOOO!! Went to Dr. Colquitt this morning and was given my date!! December 26th! The only bad part is I have to do clear liquids on Christmas Day! We have decided to have Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve instead! That works for me! I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!

What a Christmas present!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, clear liquids on Christmas day bites big time! But you will finally get to make that New Years resolution to lose weight and actually keep it!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats! Susan

Thanks Susan!! I think for Christmas I'm going to ask for chicken broth, jello, and popsicles as presents LOL! I think I'm going to hint to my mother in law that a magic bullet would be a great present!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again and I cant wait to be a loser!!

OOOHHH! A Magic Bullet would be a great present! Last year I asked for gift cards so I could buy clothing as I needed it. I got a Wal Mart card that I've used for undies and summer clothes; a Lane Bryant card that I used to hit the clearance racks before I "undergrew" the store; and cards to the mall that have kept the "girls" in a good home as I shrink. (I only wear Bali bras). My daughter told me that when I got too small for Lane Bryant she was going to start buying me NY & Co. gift cards. I am now wearing her 16s & 14s from NY & Co. Have fun! Susan

Susan!!!!!!! What a great idea I didnt even think of .......gift cards!!! Thank you so much for that idea LOL. I will hint around about those. I am really hinting about the magic bullet...I hear it is a great thing and comes in quite handy!

hi Michele, a magic bullit sounds like a great gift, & gift cards. congradulations on getting a date, dr. colquitt did mine & i think he's fantastic. i would try and come see u, but I'll be in nashville with my sons for christmas. that's why i chose jan. 9 so i wouldn't affect our christmas as a family. I'm so excited for you. I didn't break my new years resolution either. love ya, kathy

Kathy...I dont believe I am affecting our Christmas as a family! My family is very excited for me. If I wait till January that means I have to come up with 1000.00 out of pocket again up front. Not an easy task to do. I am lucky I work for a company that offers such good benefits and will pay for the surgery but I still have an out of pocket amount that would be due up front. I am making the right choice and there will be tons more holidays to celebrate as a new me. As long as my family is ok with it then onward I go!!! Have a great night!!

Just think, you can have homemade turkey broth for when you get home! You don't think we would let you get out of turkey leftovers just because you had surgery! In fact, a liquid Christmas dinner could be turkey broth and cranberry juice! I completely understand about the timing. I had hoped to have mine last year around December 19th. My husband was off from Dec. 19 - Jan. 4 and we thought that would be perfect. That didn't happen but his boss still gave him a week off when I had my surgery and our deductible doesn't start over until March 1 so we still made that cutoff. You'll be so busy Christmas day that you won't have time to get nervous. Enjoy the day with your family! Remember, this is the last Christmas you will spend FAT!!!!! Susan (BTW - I love, love, love my Magic Bullet!)

WooHoo!!!! Congratulations! We will be close in anniversary dates as I am having mine on December 11th. I'm glad so many posted about gift cards...what a good idea...and about the Magic Bullet! I had heard a few complaints but these comments well outweigth them...I'm gonna have to check out this thing for myself!

what is a magic bullet? please tell me
