I am only 30 pounds down and I can tell that my wedding rings are getting loose!

I don't want to resize till goal.. How did you deal with this? Will a jeweler put a guard on them?

Weird questions I know.. But.. just one of those things that can annoy a person :thumbup:

I'm down 35 and the rings are spinning and I'm careful when my hands are wet. I'm going to go to Walmart and buy a 3mm white gold band that is smaller than my current rings and slip that on till I get to goal and have them sized.

Congratulations - what a good "problem" to have!

I just got back IN to my wedding ring and my husband plans on recreating a whole new ring for me when I hit my goal weight. <---maybe you can work out a deal with YOUR hubby? :thumbup:

carolwright.com sells ring guards really cheap that might work for you. :thumbup:

look into getting "ring snuggies" (roughly $3.00 and you can buy them online) they are basically sizers that will help you wear your rings if they are getting too loose. The only problem I've come across is that my fingers are even too small to fit into my rings WITH the snuggies on... So I just wear my ring as a necklace and when I get to goal (close to the time I'm getting married) my guy is just going to buy me a new set of rings.

I stopped wearing my wedding ring because I didn't want to chance losing it. I have several different bands that I trade out or I wear the first ring that hubby ever bought me.

I have the same issue. the ring guards were awesome the first week they were on the rings but as I worked they flattened out and were just uncomfortable.. I went online and bought a really nice looking cubic and silver wedding band set.. you can get them cheap enough now and they are surprisingly real looking; my co=workers thought I got an upgrade from my hubby.... this is just until I reach goal then I'll have my real ones re-sized.. Good luck!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
