Christmas gift ideas?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! With Christmas coming up, I was wondering what would be some good Christmas gifts for a newly sleeved person?

I can't really think of what I want to ask for, so are there any recommendations or items that you use often that is a staple for you? I already have a shaker bottle, mini food processor, Fitbit and new athletic shoes.

Anything else?

I think they got me an air fryer. LOL. And tall boots.

Love my nutri-bullet smoothy maker, and love my cordless teapot.

Love my Fitbit.

Maybe a gift certificate to a gym?

Or you know...a gift that has absolutely nothing at all to do with fitness or weight loss...and is just something they'd like.

Merry Christmas!

Upgraded sweat proof workout earbuds.

After weight loss you seem to feel the cold more. Anything to help keep warm in the winter is comforting ;)

An Amazon prime account. Audible books for listening to at the gym.

(Earrings, any jewelry, perfume sets because they are only on sale at Christmas, tickets to a play/concert for date night, keyboard/docking station for my Surface)

Slippers and warm clothes . . . I freeze since my surgery! Also, giftcards to places you like to buy clothes. You're going to need to buy some things along the way.

I've asked for mostly clothing or gift cards for clothing. It's not the most exciting gifts but I need to start rebuilding my wardrobe. My plus sized wardrobe was impressive and now I wear the same things over and over again. Plus since I have to wear dress clothing for work I need more professional attire and I'm freezing all the time so I actually need sweaters. I used to rarely wear sweaters as I would get warm easy but that's a thing of the past. I really want a nice fitbit, I have a cheap one (off brand) and I hate it but I'm thinking that I will buy one for my birthday in March.

I've also asked for non weight related items too: tickets to see a musical, jewelry, perfume, shoes, some CDs.

Kind of pricey but we just got a Blentec blender and it makes perfect green smoothies and lots more!

Unfortunately, I gained weight after the Easter holidays and indeed, I need to return to the proper nutrition and control my meal every day, especially now when we all day long stay at home. Despite quarantine, our relatives found a good variant to greet us and they presented so many delicious gifts that it was a sin not to feast on. To cut it short, they ordered us the delivery of a full set with chocolates, wine, cheese, and gourmets from jetgiftbaskets.com. Frankly speaking, a good present, and no contact with potentially sick people. But, now welcome back the excess weight. To be honest, it really upsets me. Every kilogram in minus is an incredible work for me.

      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.
