Rewards???



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am 2 lbs from 50 lbs, and although the weight has come off so quickly, I feel as though I deserve a reward for hitting this milestone. In the past, I would have made my reward a dinner out with my husband. But, as much as I would like a night out with him, I want to stop rewarding (etc...) myself with food.

So what do you all reward yourselves with when you hit certain milestones? In theory, we should just intrinsically get enough by having just lost weight/exercised, etc.....but I'm not that kind of person...I want PRESENTS!!!

Please keep in mind that I have no cash to speak of...nor have I lost enough weight that buying new clothing is fun. A size 26 shirt is just not all that exciting...even if it used to be a 28/30.

Thanks!!! Looking forward to seeing how everyone rewards themselves.

Good question! How do others reward themselves. My family usually goes out to dinner also, but if it's going to be a reward for me than I'd like some ideas too.

Look forward to hearing everyones suggestions.......presents do sound good tho!

I got my hair cut, colored, highlighted, etc. for my last reward. But that was $220.00. I'm sure you could get in stages or a cheaper place.

Take a trip, most of the places we don't even consider going are within our own state. I live in AZ and have lived here for 22 years and I have yet to go to the Grand Canyon. :eek: Trips don't have to be expensive.

Next milestone is a "haunted weekend" with friends. We are going to go to hotels and such for a long weekend that are known to (supposedly) be haunted.

There are lots of things you can do. What do you want to do? We might be able to come up with an affordable way to do what you've already been wanting to do.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
