1. How do you beat the cold?
-
Exercise more. It gets my metabolism going and keeps me warm for hours. Plus, I burn extra calories!
-
Drink some hot coffee or tea to warm up my insides. Plus, since my weight loss surgery diet doesn’t let me eat solid foods when I drink liquids, drinking coffee or tea keeps me from turning to food to warm me up.
-
Turn up the heat or start a fire in the fireplace, pile on the blankets, and distract myself from the cold by reading, playing board games, using the computer or talking on the phone.
-
Nothing in particular, but I need help! Since weight loss surgery, I have been less able to tolerate cold than I used to be.
-
I hate to admit it, but the only thing that warms me up is some good old comfort food…macaroni and cheese or freshly baked cookies. Luckily, I can’t tolerate much after weight loss surgery!

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 reply
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.
