My parents after the whole procedure is done and I get down to my goal weight of 155 are throwing me a Weight Loss Party!! I think that's a nice incentive as well to lose the weight! I never really thought about a Weight loss party to be honest with you and what it entails. Has anybody done this before?

I know the party wouldn't be surrounded by food. LOL I know what I want to wear which is a Little Black Dress to the party and have a Before and After photo up of me and the pounds I lost! I also want it Butterfly themed. Because of the metamorphosis of coming out of the cocoon.

Any other ideas???

I'm planning to buy myself some beautiful jewelry along the way - one nice piece when I hit the halfway mark and a really nice one when I hit goal. Whatever works to incentivize you sounds great to me!

What a wonderful idea! I love this - and you'll get to suggest any foods or beverages that are (or are NOT!) welcome at your party.

I'm also thinking - if it were my friend or family member, I'd want to do a gift of some sort for the honoree, so be prepared to tell your parents how to answer that question when people ask. Maybe even choose a theme, like shops you can now go to, colors you now feel more comfortable wearing, massage, personal trainer hours, cosmetics makeover, hair re-do, or the like.

And yes - GREAT incentive! Be sure to circle back and tell us all about it, Lisa.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
