Oh sorry. How about a makeover at the makeup counter. That's little and I think they only make you buy one product. New workout clothes/sports bra. New iTunes. Jewelry. Charm Bracelet and get a new charm after every mini goal.

I'm all about new shoes and purses, mani/pedi, massages, limo wine tours, something personalized (I want a new briefcase) my big one is a trip to Maui for meeting goal. I have until Fall of 2013 to get my butt in gear. Oh, what about a girls weekend in Vegas???

I'm afraid that I am like SexySlim on this one. I very much believe in pampering myself' date=' so it is hard to think of routine treats that would be meaningful. I'm buying myself the classic Coach weekend duffle when I reach goal.[/quote']

My sister works for coach in Atlanta i would be in trouble if coach was a goal for me..love me some coach everything. But don't have me a overnight bag.

I agree with the mani/pedi, facial, etc. But the "gift" I give myself is time. I give myself time to sit and read for an hour while sipping on a Decaf hot tea (or iced tea). Today I gave myself the time to go to a movie. I've also taken a walk around Sprouts and Mother's Market to see what "new foods" I might be able to eat. I used to mediate and have started doing that again. Another low-cost reward I give myself is cleaning out a drawer or closet, trying on clothes that are too big and then enjoy putting them in a bag to donate. My husband and I walked to the park last weekend and had a picnic -- we haven't done this in many years. I download books on tape and spend time listening to them with other distractions. I have given myself "time" to play a game on the Internet. Sometimes I can only get a "20" minute "gift" but I am finding these gifts to be releiving my stress and sense of being anxious. Over the years I have spent so many hours trying to meet the needs/demands of others that I am now makng special efforts to tell myself I am proud of what I have achieved and then fully embrace the reward.

Enjoy the rewards everyone!

I have a Coach briefcase that I have had for years and it is the most wonderful bag I have ever had. That overnight bag is HUGE motivation. LOL.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
