What's Your Goal Weight Gift to Yourself?



Recommended Posts

Plastic Surgery (Skin removal, Some lifts). But this is only if it is needed.

If not, I will be getting some tattoos covered.

They ARE addicting!!! Right!?

Lol. I know a few people who are addicted, but for me, not so much. I only have one. I appreciate others' tattoos, but I'm not really a big fan of needles. Also, my husband and I like to travel to Japan, and tattoos can be a bit of an issue there. In Japanese culture they are associated with the Yakuza (mafia), and there are many establishments that won't allow anyone with tattoos.

That is very interesting. Thank you for sharing that with me.

Absolutely. I hope I won't need too much or any plastics. We'll see what genetics does first, eh? But I'm pretty sure the boobs will need to be lifted. Heck, they need to be lifted now! ?

I don't have a goal weight gift. But when I get under 200. I'm going to buy myself a deathly hallows necklace. It's not big or expensive but it's something I've wanted for a while and wouldn't let myself get until I lost weight. Hopefully in 3-4 months. Surgery March 6th!

I'm not at my end goal, but I got my phoenix to Celebrate losing 100 lbs. I started the tat in January with the outline, and got the colouring done yesterday. I'm so in love with it! Not sure what my goal gift to myself will be yet. I don't know how to make the images just thumbnails, sorry!

That is a beautiful tattoo. From the ashes of our former selves, we rise to be whom we were meant to be. SUCH SYMBOLISM AND THOUGHT.

This is a big issue here in Japan, as tourist numbers keep rising. A lot of people have tattoos, and want to experience certain aspects of Japanese culture, like onsens, where tattoos are usually a no-go. The government is suggesting that these places allow tourists with tattoos in, but I don't like this concept since it discriminates against the average Japanese person who does have tattoos and is not yakuza. If you live here, there are other concerns, like using swimming pools. I don't really use either, but after I lose weight, I may want to more, so getting a tattoo will be a big decision as it will impact me a bit living here.

I was supposed to buy myself some diamond earrings for getting under 200 pounds, but I have been under 200 pounds for 2 months, and I still haven't done it. I am all shopped out after shopping constantly for 1.5 years.

Right now I am leaning towards a mantra Bracelet.

      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.
