Wedding Band ~ How loose is yours?



Recommended Posts

Mine completely fell off, almost lost it.

Since I am Italian, I talk with my hands. Was talking to a friend and... whoosh... it flew off my hand and hit him in the face.

Gotta get it resized, I think.

What a great thread....I just broke down and got mine resized last week...since I'm an RN, I was washing my hands all the time at work and it was falling off..... my DH would have had a fit if I lost it, so I got it resized....I was very surprised, I went from a size 9 to a size 5! YAY!!

After losing weight my wedding ring went from a size 12 to a size 8. I was really happy, when I got them from the jewely store after having them sized I thought no way those are mine, but they were, and I could put them through another ring I didn't have sized. That was awsome.

Oh my gosh Sue!! I can only imagine the difference in your hands!!! That's funny that you didn't think those rings were yours. I bet it feels good. I really miss my rings and keep looking at my finger....it feels so weird without my wedding rings even though I'm wearing a different ring.....makes me kind of sad. :phanvan

Mine kept falling off so I ended up getting them sized from a 7 to a 5 1/2! I've never had big fingers even when I was 300lbs!

I have not been able to wear my rings for quite some time now. I took them to the jewelers and they put on a sizer thingy for me and that was good for a couple of months and they said to bring it back when it got too loose,(I told her I had more to lose yet). I have not gotten back there to get another sizer thing put on. I will one day soon as they did it for free and it really worked well for quite a while. I didnt want to have to re-size it a couple times before I was at goal.

It did destroy me when I lost it. The diamond was actually one that was very important to me. It was only 1/3 of a carat, and had a flaw in it, but it was the training diamond my mom used when she studied to become a gemologist. I used to tell her that I wanted it for my wedding ring one day. I was 8. had no clue about quality. it was just cool to be able to look at a diamond through the microscope. Rob got the diamond from my mom, and had it placed into a setting. I recognized the diamond immediately. I cried for a few days when it happened. Rob's wedding band is on his chain now, because it fell off and he almost lost it. We are going to get his band (which is a wide band of white gold) melted down for my new ring, and two new bands done when we renew our vows. Rob says he might do a 3 stone ring, so that I have a stone for each of the children too. I told him it was up to him, that I wanted him to pick out something special to replace it.

      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.
