Hello Twoderville! How do I celebrate? Ideas?



Recommended Posts

I am so very happy I finally made it out of the 300s this morning a number I never want to see again! But the question now is how to Celebrate this milestone? Our culture is so centered on food and drinks to celebrate, but those things got me into the 300s to begin with! So how do you all celebrate these milestones post op?

Massage?

New workout toy - Fitbit, new shoes, new workout music?

A walk in a new place? New adventure??

A car detailing?

Anything that would be a treat to you that doesn't involve food!!!

Congradulations! I would normally say go get a colorful manicure... (which is what I will do when I'm below 300) but for getting below 400 I bought myself about $200 worth of books. (I had a couple gift cards) I would mainly think of something you really enjoy and then... over do it just a little. Obviously not food or beverage related. What are some of the things you like to do but don't necessarily sound like rewards?

      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.
