I have thought about it several times...but

  1. I am too chicken to inflict pain on myself for no valid reason...LOL
  2. I shiver at the thought of being 90 years old with a tatoo :unsure:
  3. I cannot imagine putting anything on my skin I wouldnt get tired of. Shoot... I change my couch every 5-8 yrs because I get tired of looking at it.
  4. I would have to find a spot that isnt sagging and that would be tough! :rolleyes:

But more power to you... any reward is a good one!! And if that makes you happy...go for it!

Good luck on your journey.

I got one when I reached mine. I got a tattoo that maneuvered around my port to cover my incision scars.

Absolutely! You deserve it just for being on this journey. Depending on location the pain really isn't that bad.

Good Luck and let us know what you get.

I got a tatoo two years ago (at 59 yrs). My daughter made me do it :rolleyes:

I am planning on getting another one when I reach goal as well.

I have tattoos - 7 of them. They all mean something very special to me, they each have their own story. My last one I got right after surgery when I was feeling like I finally had my life together and could start living for me. It's a butterfly with flowers around it and the quote (From Kelly Rae Roberts) "She could hardly believe all that was waiting when she finally opened her heart". I don't worry about what they will look like in 40 years; I can look back and think about the memories they hold.

      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.
