Reward for 50 lbs lost?



Recommended Posts

I just bought a watch for losing 100lbs. It will always fit! I think a spa day will be my next reward for losing more pounds- massage and facial sound lovely.

I absolutely love the idea of gift cards to clothing stores now to use once at goal. I'm going to start using that idea when people ask what to get me for b-day, x-mas, etc. Love it! :D

I started "rewarding" myself right after surgery- I bought a pandora Bracelet and reward myself with a new bead with every 10 lbs lost. My bracelet is sporting 8 beads and I will be getting the 9th one in a few days. There are lots of pandora-like brands out there. It's a fun way to reward myself and exciting when I get to show off a new bead earned. Find something that is extra special to Celebrate all the hard work :)

I did a nice piece of jewlery. It wasn't something I would normally do and with my now showing collar bone...it made me feel even better! :) Do something you wouldn't normally do and that you can see as a constant reminder of what you've accomplished so far. I'll always have my necklace to remind me. Congrats!

well - I lost 170lbs with my lapband and at 100 lbs I got a tatoo (tramp stamp) on my lower back of a phoneix - as I felt I was starting a re-birth. At 125lbs down I got a face lift - your face is the most visiable and boy did that make me feel great. At 150lbs lost I got a Tummy Tuck and Lipo. and when it healed I got a dancing fairy with flames on my newly tummy tucked self on my right hip and love it (can see this one). When I get back down to my lowest weight I am looking at something else to Celebrate. These are pretty private areas and for me to enjoy (although my boyfriend loves them).

Whatever you do - do it for yourself and make it something that will be a symbol of all your hard work and dedication...you deserve it.

I actually love the idea of the bracelet...maybe I could get one tattooed on my ankle and add a bead for every 10 lbs lost...(gosh once you start getting tattoos - it gets to be addictive)...

Thanks for starting this thread - I hit my 50lb loss today, and wouldn't have made a big deal of it but you got me thinking, and so I did, and I bought a pair of non stretch, normal width knee high boots, I love them so much I am going back tomorrow to buy a pair in another colour (well, hell I have lost 50lb!!!) ;)

      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.
