I told myself that at every 50lbs lost I'm getting a tattoo. 12lbs left to go, already have it designed, just need to come up with the money and someplace to get it done. My husband said he'll buy the next one. I can hardly wait. :)

As a behavioralist I have a hard time incentivizing myself since I know pragmatically I'm always in control.

I do get a nice sense of celebration when I can fit in smaller clothes or even find something in a store to wear versus having to mail order everything.

I have been contemplating a tattoo though since the permanence removes my control of the reward long term.

Buy yourself something special. I know some banders have bought themselves a charm bracelet... pandora type, and buy a new charm to Celebrate. Anything that means something to you will work... except food! LOL!

I'm going to buy me something special at 30lbs.

I went to the dr this morning and basically all he had was praise and told me that I should be very proud because w/o a fill I have lost 26lbs. He even said I'm probably in my green zone. He said about 2-3% of his patients do this good w/o a fill. Just a select few. Gosh I was on cloud 9. I'll keep up the good work for sure!!!

      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.
