New Booty....any advice



Recommended Posts

Keep busy, clean the house, do yard work, read the forums, go for long walks, go swimming, ask family and friends to support (if they know). Go clothes shopping, just looking and imagine being in them.... You will do fine :)

Congrats on the surgery date !

@Irwnewlady Sounds like you’re doing great so far. This may sound ridiculous but I completed jigsaw puzzles. My husband and daughter ate normally so food was always around. To maintain focus on pre-op and post-op, I would avoid thinking about food by working on some puzzles. It worked wonders! It was great for my brain and I didn’t cheat once. By the way, you are gorgeous! 🌸

The Main thing is stick to the plan they gave you for pre-op. Get your Protein Shakes in by any means necessary. You will be so so happy you did. The Protein shakes are very important if you have found one you like. The pounds will just fall off if you remain disciplined. I messed up with getting my protein in. I feel like I should be down more 7wks in. Wishing you the best.

sugar free Jello also is a life saver, especially if you need to chew. Sometimes the urge to chew is what drove me mad on the liquid phases.

Good luck, you’ll do great!

Flavor Ice light. sugar free freeze pops, I could only find them on Amazon for a case of over 100 for about $30. Sounds like a ton but they store in the pantry and are delicious!

      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.
