What Are You Looking Forward to in Spring?



Recommended Posts

It’s still chilly and the weather is still variable, but spring is on its way. With less wind, ice, rain, and snow, and more sunshine, you may be thinking about more outdoors activities after being cooped up all winter. Any extra movement you do will help with weight loss and health, and getting outside for some fresh air and natural light can boost mood, too!

Are you going to pick up with your morning or evening walks as the days get longer? Have you been itching to go for a hike after losing weight this winter? You can even bump up metabolism and burn a few calories walking around the block before sitting down to lunch at work, or parking at the far end of the parking lot without worrying about trudging through a pile of snow.

How will you take advantage of the new season to support your weight loss surgery journey

Being able to wear something pretty and not be a gawdy tent. Or maybe capris and not want to hide cause my legs look so deformed and huge.

      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.
