Interesting. I have no idea how to Celebrate my bandiversary. I don't want to buy any new clothes, because I'm hoping I won't be this size very much longer. I used to celebrate everything with food. The first thing that came to mind for a celebration on my bandiversary date was a "birthday" cake. What an awful idea!

So what are you guys doing, if anything? I'd go for a mani/pedi, but I want to wait until spring to do that. I don't have the money laying around to do that right now, anyway. Any other ideas?

OOOO , a massage sounds great ! I've never had one but I think a bandiversariy would be a great way to Celebrate , if.... they can get through my baggy, saggy skin !lol ! hey I love wendy's chili too. I eat it almost every day for lunch since it's only a buck. hey i gotta go the weather just turned really nasty and school's out and I've gotta drive 22 miles home. I'll check in tomorrow.

Ive never had a massage, I like the idea, but I think I'd get a little wierded out with someone else massaging my whole body (especially when my fat rolls move with them with every wave of their hand:biggrin:, how SEXY!!) I know its another 'fat' hangup!!!

Unfortunately my first thought went to anniversary cake too!

This needs so more thought!!!

But, holy crap............I have been without carbonated beverages for a YEAR!!! I thought that I was going to DIE without my diet coke. (so did my kids as a matter of fact! No one knew what hit them!! Crystal Lite Rules!!!

My first thought was progress pictures to be honest with you.

At 100 pounds lost I am geting a mani/pedi.

At goal I am getting a tatoo. It is going to be small and on my foot. I am not sure exactly when it will be yet but I want something that pays tribute to the changes in my life.

Ok , I made it home alive last night. How weird , the day started out at 50, then as the cold front moved through we had storms, winds and a small tornado touched down, then...snow and ice in the evening and today the temp. is 19 and we're due for 6 inches of snow tomorrow. All of that happened in like 3 hours !:lol:

I am eating my wendy's chili for lunch right now. I would love a tattoo around my ankle, now that they no longer swell up anymore. i tried a henna one in florida and loved how it looked , but I heard that area is really tender and painful - I am such a wimp about that. i would also like to get my nose pierced. i already have 8 holes in each ear( my students think it's cool - parents don't believe them or think it's weird) but no where else yet. I guess it's the musician in me - we tend to be a little different !:biggrin: I also still like the massage idea, tho' my body looks pretty gross and squishy right now. don't know if I could "bare" it all to a stranger.

I just schedued my 8th fill for Feb. 13th. i am not staying full as long and can eat a little more too. Thus I've come to a stand still for losing. I sooo want to be under 200 lbs. 17 lbs to go ! CRAP !:lol: My bandiversary is the 21st, so I doubt I'll reach that goal but I think we've all done

AWESOME this past year ! Let's keep it up !:tongue: C/Ya'll !

Dang girl I am glad you are safe. That crazy shit hit us last night. Went from high forties to about 9 degrees this morning with a wind chill of -10. The wind blew so hard it snapped the 4x4s right in half on 4 panels of my privacy fence.

I too am guilty of reading and not posting much....my bandiversary is the 28th of Feb....I too have been in a slump/frump lately....job hunting and cabin fever is not a GOOD combo...hopefully things will turn around soon....

I feel like I have the plague or something. Feel like total crap. I mean, it just feels like a regular old head cold, but it's zapped every ounce of my energy. Just sitting here typing this, I have to take breaks.... I wasn't sure I'd be able to stay upright for my shower this morning, and it's a good thing it's a shower with a corner seat.

T.G. - It definately sounds like the flu. My neighbors have the same thing. Sever head cold for the parents, children had cold and lasting fever. Dr's said it was flu!!! Take care of yourself, they have been down and out for about 4 days.

Hope you feel better soon

      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.
