100 pounds gone party!



Recommended Posts

Congratulations...I recently got there too (about two weeks ago I hit the 100 lbs mark off peak weight). Parties are definitely a different animal nowadays...so I guess really high-Protein hors d'oeuvres. Sadly, this is where many people's efforts all come tumbling down...a carb escapade to Celebrate a benchmark. The story of Mike Hebranko is the most harrowing of all...it's amazing the cascade that a single Nathan's hot dog can set off. So let's both be smart...I'm starting to plan my Onederland party as well.

Sounds fun! I'm interested to hear how it turns out. I'd make bariatric friendly foods like cheese crisps with salsa, hummus and veggies, shrimp cocktail, etc.

Please keep us posted!

Try partying without food .... Bowling, movies, skating, anything that doesn't revolve around eating but where you can still have a good time.

At this point I can say that food just isn't enough of a priority to be considering it in party planning

There are other things that matter more.

Now is the time to learn how to Celebrate without food. That's a slippery slope that lead many of us to needing surgery in the first place.

Why not celebrate by pampering yourself? Get a mani/pedi or treat yourself to a massage? I did a spa day with girlfriends this summer. We bought them off groupon.

      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.
