Sounds good. I understand im afraid a tattoo would get all warped when we lost weight.

I want tinker bell . The image of her seeing her reflection for the first time.

That sounds so very cool.

I am getting a tattoo at each 50 pound mark-already have an appointment with my tattoo gal. Getting them in areas that should not be affected by any type of skin reduction surgery. Other than that, I am signing up with hubby for either ballroom and/or line dance classes. He agreed as a gift to me (he has 2 very large left feet) :)

I will get a tattoo but it needs to be relevant. Possibly a stick figure ;)

Goal? It seems such a long way away that I haven't even thought about it :(

I have thought about my first 40 kg's. I'm buying myself a special piece of jewellery that I have needed an excuse to buy for a long time!

Guess I should think about my goal weight too!

Mini goals are great!

Brg that is awesome I may have to get that too to mark the journey!! I love it. I am scared to think of the end right now I am concentrating on the 28 I have to lose for preop. Then my next hurdle will be 50. And then by 20's after that.

I want to do all the things I CAN'T do right now because of my weight - like roller coasters, parasail, zip line, etc., when I'm on vacation. It's not that I really WANT to do those things. I just HATE that I cannot do them now, and figure I'm missing out on some real fun.

And clothes shopping, in ANY store, although I love you IGIGI and Lane Bryant.

I'm going to take my cute big girl dresses to my local seamstress and have them altered to fit the new me.

I hear ya. The simplest things that cause our bodies to ache because of the extra weight we carry will be awesome to be able to do when it doesn't hurt to do it anymore.

      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.
