A question for postops about family gatherings and everyone's reaction to weight loss

Iam so looking forward to getting together with family at Christmas and Thanksgiving just to see their jaws drop at my weight loss! A lot of my Aunts, Uncles and cousins havent seen me since last Christmas, when I was still preop. Every Christmas every year we draw names to see who we are going to buy a gift for, and I always know who gets my name just by the look on their faces. I call it the "oh God" look like "oh God Ive got her name, what am I going to get for her fat butt" look. Or someone sees my name, says "I dont want her, she's too hard to buy for!" and trades with someone or puts the name back. Now, these guys are nice to your faces but then when this comes up, its totally different. It justs irritates me to no end! I just want to see the reaction Im going to get! Anyone feel this way too or go through a similar experience?
