How will you celebrate reaching your goal?



Recommended Posts

Setting and actually reaching our goal weight is a really big accomplishment. Most of us have been overweight for years and some of us have battled weight our entire lives. We have all tried a failed dozens of times. Reaching our weight loss goal will be a major life event. Has anyone thought of what they plan to do to mark the occasion? I'm just curious.

I don't know. Probably go for a long hike and have a good cry.

I've been big my whole life, I have no idea what to expect when I am not an overweight person.

My husband told me years ago that if I ever lost all my weight he would take me on a trip to anywhere I wanted in the world....I think deep down inside he thought there was a very slim chance that would have happened..But not anymore................

My plan is a trip to Holland during the Tulip festival.........Wanted to do that since I was a small girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going big! I'm sending myself on a scuba trip with adults only. I'm always doing everything for everyone as a single mom, and I deserve a trip to reward myself...

When I finally hit goal I plan on at least speaking to a plastic surgeon about a breast lift. No implants because I like my smaller boobs :) Also I'll explore the possibility of having excess skin removed from my abdomen. It's not too bad now, so I'll have to see how much excess there is.

      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.
