Congratulations!!! I'm very proud of you! I don't k ow your budget but you could always Celebrate with a new shirt or pair of pants, if that's too much you could always just celebrate with your family without food or cake!!! Maybe take out a before and now pic to see how far you have come!!!

Is there a goal you have not completed yet?

I went and worked out on my 1 year.

Congrats on the weight loss and the 1 year milestone!

I like the idea of massage - I was always too embarrassed about my weight to ever get a massage. Maybe buy a piece of inspirational jewelry or a charm, get a tattoo, or experiment with a new hairstyle. Try a new activity you've never done or been able to do like spinning, yoga, or kayaking. Go to a play or a concert you've always wanted to see. Take a day or weekend trip to hike and explore your area's natural resources. I'd love to do a zip-line tour. :-)

My anniversary is in May. I'm thinking of a tattoo. I'm the only one in my family who doesn't have one. I designed my husband's tattoo based on his viking heritage. I recently found my half brothers I had never met and discovered that I also have some viking blood. I may design one for myself...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
