I Think I Found My Transfer Addiction....



Recommended Posts

It's me! I have found myself doing all sorts of health&beauty things since I had my surgery. I'm a 26 year old guy that in the last week has gone to the spa for manicure, pedicure, facial, and massage. I bought all sorts of fancy face scrubs. I had a lady friend fix my straggly eye brows. Spent a ton of money on a fancy electric tooth brush and whitening things. And go to the gym every day. What the heck happened to me!?!?!? I guess I'm feeling better and way more confident and decided I need all of this??? I never would have done all this pre op lol! I can't help but to laugh at myself.

I have been thinking about that as I approach surgery, what will I do with my time and extra money whe I am not using it for food and drinks? ?? Sounds like you have found some healthy and beneficial addictions. Can't wait to start my own journey and feel like doing things to make me feel and even look better.

P.S. I wish I could get my husband to get a pedicure!

Not gonna lie, I secretly enjoyed it! It will definitely become part of a routine now! It's such a weird feeling to me of actually pampering and caring about yourself as weird as that sounds. But when I was over weight and unhappy all I wanted to do was get through my day and go home and wasn't overly concerned with the little appearance things.

Could be worse. At least it's not something that's detrimental to your health. Congrats on the weight loss, and the ability to find something else that will keep you positive about your accomplishments! Cause when you look good, you feel good. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
