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!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
