Present for yourself?



Recommended Posts

Did anyone buy a present for themselves after getting banded (apart from the band itself of course :->)

I bought myself a Pandora Bracelet. Silver with a Gold Clasp. I decided I would buy myself a gold/silver bead (charm) and a gold separator charm for every 5 kgs I lose. So far I have 3 gold/silver beads and 3 gold separators.

I figure by the time I get to goal weight it will be nice and full, and will mean a lot to me.

What a great idea for the braclet. I didn't buy myself a gift until I started changing sizes. Then, every time I went shopping, I'd tell DH that I am celebrating because I lost, X number of pounds.

One day he said, "You're always celebrating!" I said, "I know, I have a lot to Celebrate and I keep changing sizes so I deserve it!"

Happy Friday everyone!

I have decided I am going to get a tattoo on the inside of my wrist when I lose 40kg to remind me everyday of where I have been and how far I have come.

Oh yeah and as a mid way present we might go to Melbourne to see 'Wicked' the musical.

I have toyed with the idea of getting a tattoo too when I get to goal, but we'll see how I feel when I get there!

I treat myself pretty much everytime I go to the shops. I'm a total clothes horse these days! I love shopping WAY too much!

Nat, what are you going to tattoo on your wrist? I too have considered getting a tattoo when I reach goal. I saw where an actress, not one I'm fond of, but she tattooed "Breathe" on the inside of her wrist in white. She's white, so it barely showed up and I thought that was king of a neat idea, but couldn't decide what I would put there. Maybe "01/04/2008", my bandiversary date.

I'd love to hear ideas from the rest of you!

That is very funny because one of the words I have been considering is breathe, I didnt know any actress had it I just thought it kind of rang a bell with me, I have not decided and I have a while to think about it but I wont get anything until I am 100% happy Im not going to permanently mark myself with anything I will regret in 6 months.

      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.
