The biggest reward for me is the constant compliments....It has been a very long time since I have had a compliment on my appearance and once they started to come, with all my hard work, it felt so rewarding.

Also, we usually take a vacation in January but can't this new year because of work we have scheduled in the restaurant so instead we are staying at the Four Seasons Yorkville in Toronto for 3 nights over Christmas when we go to visit family and friends.....this is kind of a reward too since it is hugely extravagant on our part....can't wait!

Clothes, clothes, clothes. I go shopping every 2 weeks right now. I am down 2 sizes on the bottom and 3 on the top since June. I am also going to a dermatologist to have some work done on my sun damage. We'll see how well my skins turns out.

I bought myself a walkman CD player for 50 lbs. I get audio books on CD from the library and just get lost in a book while walking. I am almost at 75 lbs (5 months!) and I've been thinking about it. It's fun wondering what I should reward myself with.

I have all ready set up some goals and rewards for myself. For 20 lbs it will be a manicure/ pedicure. For 40 lbs a facial. For 60 lbs a theater show. For 80 lbs a massage and for 100lbs a trip either to Disney world or some tropical local. I'm hoping all these self indulgent rewards will motivate me during the rough times.

Okay, I will start by saying I'm a 48 year old, educated and for the most part, demure woman....but I think one of my favorite NSV's will be ....

when a man bumps into me because he is trying to cop a feel, not just because my ass is in his airspace....

....sigh....I am but weak flesh.... :faint:

I think Ropers are shoes, like cowgirls and boys wear. they are boots, and they have little tassle things at the tongue. Very country. but they are cool, and expensive and quite a reward if your into that. good for you!!

I had to lay off the shopping, it was getting out of control. But I can shop now more than I could because i dont have to pay $80 for a Tshirt, like I had to when I wore plus sizes. So I'm enjoying spying something and being able to have it and it not costing a fortune.

Running is my reward, to be able to just go out for a run and it not kill me but rather, make me feel good! I love it.

My first reward was my son asking if it bothered me to make him a sandwich. He was very impressed that it didn't make me nuts because I'm still on liquids!

      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.
