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 wishlist has a Fitbit scale on it! We lost our Fitbit scale in a house fire back in May and now that I have surgery on December 16th I'm needing to keep track of those lbs lost!!

All of our medical debt to magically disappear! It has been a year. Perhaps a lottery ticket!

You'll have to move to Canada for that or win the lottery!! lol

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
