Congrats on reaching your goal!! I hit 60 pounds lost this morning!!!!

As for rewards.....hadn't set any specific ones....yet! Getting to buy clothes from an actual store instead of a catalog is reward enough for me so far. I'll think on it and hopefully come back with some....

My son was the one who kept pushing me and encouraging me to have the surgery....sat thru seminars, took me to consultations, stayed with me at the hospital, went to my follow-up meetings, takes my pictures every month - his support has meant so much to me that there is no way I'm going to fail. Therefore.....when I reach Onederland, we are going to do something we have both wanted to do for years - we are going to take a ride in a hot air balloon!! We've already located one, checked out the prices, times, etc - we're gonna do it!!!

I'm not sure you would call it a reward, but everytime I think about stopping at a store for a snack or a fast food rest. I take all the money I would of spent on food and put it in a jar for my fills. I was shocked to see how much I really spent on "bad" or "fast foods". I never worry about not having enough for a fill when I need it.

Well, I have sort of been rewarding myself all along since every 25 lbs. I have to find new clothes( but my sister and I stayed so close in size that we kept switching our closets around), but my really serious reward came when I lost 75 lbs. I went to Tiffany's, and bought myself a platinum and diamond ing with a little dangling heart on it to remind myself daily that all of this work has been to spare my heart any further damage, and then when my new grandbaby is born in December I will gift it to her . I really feel that if I had not had this surgery, I might not be alive to even hold her, much less watch her grow up. My heart was suffering from the load it was under, and my husband had had a heart attack at 45 from years of obesity. Now he has had the surgery, and is on his way to a good reward. Mizboo

Our 25th wedding anniversary will be in 2009, all my weight should be gone by then and we are going to go on a trip. It would not happen now with my body image etc, I would not enjoy myself, wouldn't be in pictures,,,well you know the rest.

I hope to be able to reward myself with health and a vacation!!!

I bought myself some new walking shoes. Boy, you would be surprised how 30 pounds makes a difference in the way you walk. My old shoes look hideous and I can not even stand to walk with them now. My feet turned out so much the sides of the shoes where more wore out than the bottoms...Deanna

      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.
