My friend and I are having bariatric surgery the same day, but she will have 14 days of a liquid diet pre-op whereas mine is only 5.

 

What are some things I can do to help take her mind off of food?  I thought about offering to take her to the movies, but some people get triggered by the smell of popcorn.

 

Obviously I am going to ask her what, if anything, she would like to do but I would like some suggestions as to what helped you during this time.

Walking, swimming...hotels /some..will let you pay a few bucks to use the pool.

Maybe go to the park.  It's a hard time, so anything that is near food is going to be rough for that person.

Do the full time with her.  My husband ponied up and did my whole 2 weeks with me and it made a world of difference.  It benefited us both by de-carbing us, weight loss, food was much easier, and we worked together when it was tempting to not doing it.  I can say with a clear heart I did not cheat and it was because we leaned on each other.

The cake is a lie, but Starbucks is not.
