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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
