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!

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
