What's Your Goal Weight Gift to Yourself?



Recommended Posts

I'm not sure I'm doing this right. I think I'm responding, but still getting questions that I answered. Maybe with time.

That's a beautiful tattoo! What a great reward.

I am being rewarded this may with a trip to Ireland!! I have wanted to go my whole life, and to know I will be close to goal weight will be amazing. I will be able to hike and bike!

Take lots of pics!!! I hear it's just gorgeous over there, especially country side. My friend went a couple years back and didn't want to come home. LOL have fun with your trip, it's almost here!

How about Angel's Landing in Utah? That's on my list..

I never heard of it before so looked it up. It looks gorgeous, but I could never do it - I suffer from serious vertigo, so anything that has me at a high place with a lot of drops around me is not safe for me.

I'm using the word מוקדשת. which is the female version of set apart/consecrated/sanctified. I'm using these guys: http://www.hebrew-tattoos.com/our-works I'll definitely post photos when it's done!

I may just have to copy you on this one too. In addition to my lace piece, I'm just in love with yours. Thank you for the site. I'm saving it. I've got the tickles in my chest thinking about the words ...set apart/consecrated/sanctified. He is good! Wow. :) Thank you!

That is unfortunate.. but understanding! It's not for the feint of heart, or vertigo-prone.

I'm going to copy you on this! I think I'll end up needing a small tuck, and definitely will need a breast lift. I need it now and I'm pre-op. Going to tell my husband that I'm putting away money every month towards this. What a great idea!

Oh, I'm definitely getting my boobs done first! :-)

Me too! (They're actually something that needed to be done before surgery, so they are first on my list regardless of whatever else I need).

Ooh, that's very meaningful. I was thinking what I could do to make the lace tat more meaningful in regards to losing the weight but can't think of anything. ? I do think I might place a tiny tat on the top of my hand near the thumb and forefinger, not sure what that area is called, that's says something to the tune of "never again 266" IMG_2270.thumb.JPG.baa4296bcc4e9308e5310fd9f6d43b8c.JPG

Mine will be some high-end fashion! Not an entire wardrobe, but some classic pieces. Although after reading this thread, I kind of want to get a new tattoo. :lol:

Lol i am not quite the fan of Chinese letters although I think it's pretty. If anything else, it'll be Hebrew. But I showed my husband the pic and he says "if you're all (whatever Spanish name he said) then get it there". Lol. Not sure what it was though, but says it means to the tune of "all gangster girl-like". Haha! Definitely am not gangster. ???

      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.
