90 Day Stats & Bariatric Cook Book



Recommended Posts

Today marks 90 days post op for me!

Surgery was 2/12/16

Highest Weight: 399.4

Surgery Weight: 381.4

Current Weight: 336.4

63 lbs down total!

Some NSV's:

I no longer take up more than 1/2 of the loveseat at my parents house.

I can sit in chairs without fear that I'm not going to fit.

I can walk up stairs or walk in general without being out of breath.

I no longer have the automatically grab the biggest size a store offers.

I feel overall more confident.

I created a cookbook:

I said it right, I created a cookbook! After tons of feedback that I had received from followers on Facebook and Instagram, I turned my photos into real recipes to share with the world. If anyone is interested, they are $10 and I mail them out the same day! A lot of work went into making this and I kept the cost at the same cost that I had to create these and cover shipping too.

looks like you already had a couple of sales, that's awesome! I have an etsy shop too and if you don't mind some free advice, I would tweak your title a bit. Add some keywords to the title, like cookbook, recipe, bariatric, etc. It helps people find your item in searches

you might also think about listing a PDF instant download of your book

best of luck to you

      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.
