Happy Mother’s Day! What Are Your Plans for Next Week?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday (consider that a friendly reminder if you still need to get your mom a gift or reserve a table at her favorite restaurant…).

Are you a mother, or are you going to be appreciating your own mother on Sunday? Or maybe both?

How has weight loss surgery changed your relationship with your mom or your kids? Are you able to do more things together? If you and your mom (or your kids) are all adults, do you feel closer to them as you work towards being healthy?

And…what are your plans for Mother’s Day? A walk with a heart-to-heart chat? Picking some flowers? A healthy brunch? Share how you’ll Celebrate Mom!

I am a mother to a beautiful 13 year old girl, and I will spend Mothers day packing my hospital bag and having Clear liquids, as my sleeve is happening the next morning!

      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.
