I am trying to treat myself for every 10 #s I lose (12-14 rewards rewardsin total) What are some low cost rewards some of you are using? Trying to keep big $ items for closer to goal? So far for first 30#s down I've gotten my hair cut, eyebrows threaded and hair dyed. Need to figure out what to do for 40 and beyond!

What are your suggestions?

Congrats on your weight loss so far!!!

You could do a spa treat, a sexy new outfit, splurge a little on some makeup or perfume.

You could just do small things for yourself like that and then when you get closer to your goal, you could do something that you would have never done when you were heavy.... like get professional pics taken and make it a calendar or take a belly dancing or salsa class.

Cheers!

I love having my eyebrows threaded!!!

My little rewards are makeup, new lotions, new cute containers/cups for my smaller sized food/drink and I've been thinking about new sandals...

Keep up the good work!!!

At 50 lbs, I went into Victoria Secrets and bought something pretty...just for me.

I think I'm going to treat myself to a pedicure for my first 25lbs lost -- going with a friend in 2 days. After that, maybe I'll have to do something for every 10lbs. I like the idea of finding cute smaller bowls to use! Maybe a new book, or some new music for my ipod, or another pedi! :)

I love the lingerie idea! When I was a size 14 last time I had matching everything, even Cami's to match the bras and panties. As I gained though, I stopped shopping at Fredrick's and started grabbing bras and bags of Haynes Her Way panties from Wally world. I didn't feel sexy anymore :(

NOW, however, it's an entirely different story! I like the idea of a lingerie for every 10lbs, I'm gonna have to steal it ;-)

When I reach goal I'm going to do something I've never done and go to a spa. I will swim, have a mud bath, a 1 hour massage, a pedicure and a facial. Then some new clothes and underthings.

For my 4WD I am getting new off-road tires and a winch bumper. For my house a mission solid oak coffee table.

I might also go to Hawaii in late November. Not sure yet.

This summer I'm going to a waterslide park and to Knotts berry Farm. I already did Disney.

Next May I'm going to the Grand Canyon and Supai (12 mile walk each way in and out of a deep canyon).

      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.
