We all deserve a treat, and this time of year is when many of us exchange gifts, whether for Christmas or Hanukah, or simply out of family tradition. It’s a good chance to ask your loved ones to pitch in for something you need, or for something that is a bit of a luxury that you would not normally get yourself.

I’m wondering what is on your holiday gift list, and whether your wishes have to do with weight loss surgery. food journals, memberships to health and fitness app sites, and gift cards to bariatric food and supplement stores make great gifts at any stage of your WLS journey. If you’re pre-op, you might be hoping for a blender for your mushies stage, or an IOU to redeem when you need help in the kitchen, taking care of your children, or cleaning the house as you recover from surgery.

If you are post-op, your list might include exercise clothes and shoes, a gift card to your favorite healthy restaurant, or some Protein Bars to have on hand.

What is on your holiday gift list that can help you lose weight and keep it off in the coming year?

My family chipped in and bought me a Garmin Fenix 3HR when nothing else would fit my big wrist.

      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.
