I'm curious as to what everyone did once they lost weight. I know some people by goal outfits and some people get tattoos and piercings. Some people are just happy with the weight loss itself. What did everyone out there do? I was thinking I want a tatto on my ribs... I think this will help me stay positive and have something new and exciting to look forward to... :smile:

i have a couple of them.

I want to get a new hairstyle. i have had the same style (all one length, the length has just changed through the years, and the color) for several years but never wanted to cut it because i didn't want to make my face look rounder. I have a stylist who i completely trust to go in and tell him to do whatever he wants.... since it's all one length, and i'll make sure it's a length he could do whatever he wants to it, he will be able to do anything!

the other thing(s) is a breast lift and Tummy Tuck.

we always get a large amount from taxes back. we usually put it into the house. a few years ago he got a boat with it. I told him my goal was to lose weight and get a BL and TT...well, we all know what happened, it DIDN'T happen. i was heavier than ever. so the taxes went back into the house and our portion of the BAND. i don't see why i wouldn't meet my goal sometime this year, so my plan is NEXT year WILL be my year and i WILL get my BL and TT!

a itty bitty bikini will be another thing... hubby can't wait to use his boat while i sit out on the front in my bikini with the confidence to wear it!

we plan to go on a trip too. we were suppose to go to Mrtyle Beach for our 2nd anniversary, but i had a premature baby that i wasn't going to leave, the following year, i had ANOTHER premature baby and a 1 year old that had never been away from me...and after that i didn't want to go NEAR a beach looking the way i did...so i want to plan that trip again and go have a BLAST!!

I have a tat design that i wanted to get after my divorce that would represent my life before and my life i was begining, but i never did do it.... it could also represent my fat life and NEW life..... Hubby doesn't like tats, so i'm not sure if i'll do it or not. then again, if when i'm to goal and loving my body again and i REALLy want to do it, i will. It will be for ME... (i want it in a place that only in a bathing suit or naked would it even be seen)

whew...i rambled!

I said I would DO THINGS I probably wouldn't have done otherwise. In Roatan in March, I went on a 16 cable zip line. Now I have to think up something else, LOL.

I think I may get a tattoo. I definitely want a breast lift and a Tummy Tuck but I still have a long way to go in the weight loss department.

It's crazy, I know. But I have this fear, and I want to conquer it. If (when) I reach 190lbs, I want to go skydiving. The place I want to do it doesn't let you if you weight more than 210, and from 200-210 you pay an extra $20 fee, which I don't want to do, so I'm going to wait till I hit 190, and go off into the wild blue yonder.

Yeah!! I'm not the only one my husband would call crazy. I, too would love to go skydiving....I want to go to Vegas and skydive. I have checked on it in the past and was afraid my knees wouldn't support me in a soft landing. My DH thinks I have lost my mind. He has his private pilots liscense and offers to "assist" me in my dream lots of times. But...I told him I'd do it with the pro's.....

Depending on how things go. . maybe a breast lift. Fingers crossed that I won't need it, but you never know. .

I'm also going to buy some new, really nice suits for work to replace the ones I've been wearing, and will probably be pretty generous with myself on the clothing-shopping front!

I'm 44 lbs down as of this morning (with 25-30 to go to get in my goal zone), and as a treat, I signed myself up for a REALLY SCARY looking exercise program -- www.purepowerbootcamp.com. I really hope that I can hack it. If I can, I'm going to be really excited to see how my body looks at the end of the program and what the scale has to say!

I am not a tattoo kind of girl - more of a shopaholic. I may be dangerous when I get to "normal sizes" - I've always had a handbag addiction, but never felt like my clothes really went with my bags and shoes. I want some beautiful clothes to go with that Marc Jacobs bag sitting in my closet.

I was just talking to a friend about this this morning, and I never really thought about getting a tattoo but now I'm thinking that once I lose the weight I might get one just a small one on my ankle or my back to symbolize what I've done and accomplished. My DH may not be too happy about it but we'll see....:thumbup:

When I arrive at my goal weight, I look forward to the following:

1. Wearing sleeveless shirts.

2. Wearing shorts.

3. Cutting my hair.

I would love to get a breast lift too, but I have to finish paying for my band first!

I told my DH I was going to have a little bumble bee tat on my ankle to show I can "bee" whatever I want to be. Cheesy I know. Oh yeah I have a pair of red capri pants I want to get into.

      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.
