Ways to celebrate weight loss?



Recommended Posts

Hey out there! I had my surgery on May 27th and at my 2 week appointment last week I had lost 10 pounds. I got on my scale today and I lost 20 pounds since last week! This brings my total weight loss on this journey to 90 pounds! I want to start celebrating milestones. Have any of you done this or do you have any ideas?

Thanks!

I bought a fabulous new purse when I dropped below 200 pounds.

90 pounds?! That's fantastic! You'll definitely need to Celebrate the 100 pound loss you're so close to. What about doing something that you couldn't have done before? For me, I think I'd like to try a zip line, or take a river rafting trip, or jump on a trampoline, or go horse back riding. Maybe even sky diving. Eek!

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking of doing something I couldn't do before but I'm still pretty heavy. I started at 545 so right now I'm at 455! I still can't do much but I'd like to do something! I'd also love to do something like ziplining, trampoline, skydiving, zorbing, parasailing, hang gliding but I still have a ways to go!

Zorbing? That's one I have to google right now. Maybe it needs to be added to my list too. You're off to such a great start that I'm sure you'll continue to do great! Keep all those adventurous activities in mind for future rewards.

I think zorbing looks awesome! My sister did it in New Zealand. I will definitely start doing my more adventurous activities as soon as I am able!

I agree! I have seen that before, but never knew what it was called. I'll add that to my list too. If bucket lists are all the things you want to do before you kick the bucket, I wonder what I should call my list of things I want to do after significant weight loss.

I did little things to reward myself along the way, a new wardrobe (this was more out necessity than anything), Tummy Tuck (when I reached and maintained my goal for 18 months), boudior pictures (at 2 years post op), and most recently I rewarded myself with the honeymoon my hubby and I never had! I put it off for 18 years because I didn't want to go when I was nearly 300 pounds. So to Celebrate 3 years post op at or below goal, we went to Mexico (lots of fun pics in my blog linked in my siggy). So, my rewards ranged from clothes to a trip, but I would just think about the things you've always wanted to do but didn't because of your weight and start there.

I make appointments for massages when I hit periodic milestones.

I love glass, so I have bought myself some nice art glass pieces at some of my big milestones.

Massages and mani/pedis are my standard rewards.

My wife and I are planning a vacation for when we've both hit our goal weight.

I just realized that I'm 50lbs down today. I've never lost so much weight.

I am going to take horseback riding lessons when I hit my first goal of 60 pounds. Congratulations on your 90lbs, that's something to be very proud of!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
