You are right about the snuggies. They are not perfect. I love your idea of an eternity ring. They are so beautiful and when they spin, you won't miss their beauty. I guess the lapbanders who love jewelry will work around this side effect of losing weight. Its amazing the ideas we get from this site to help with our journey.

Oh, here's another idea for the jewelry lover during weight loss phase. Buy a ring that fits. Wear it and love it. It gets too big, move to right hand (mine is a bit bigger than my left hand) or to a larger finger, and get a new ring that fits!

Building the jewelry wardrobe is fun! But expensive. :thumbup:

I am also considering having several rings melted down to create a brand new ring in my new size.

Wow, all of you had your rings resized so many times. I actually gained 100 pounds since my wedding and have never had to have my ring resized. It still fits, granted I have to lotion up my hands to get it on and I have to wash my hands w/cold soapy Water to get it off, but I take it off and put it on several times a day without any real problem.

It was a little loose when I first got engaged, but the jewelry store encouraged me not to get it sized down. They said it would be better to have it a little loose for when my hands swelled in the summer. Maybe the guy was actually thinking when I gain 100 pounds. LOL

I wear my engagement ring to work and when I go out, and it's a 1.08k solitaire.

My current engagement ring is quite small, but is a lovely stone and shows lots

of colors.So I want to upgrade that because A larger stone may not have the

quality of smaller ones .

I waited a little over a year to get my wedding ring sized.It;s actually at the jewelers right now!lol! After 60 lbs lost i went down only 1 1/2 ring sizes..I was surprised...But you all are right sizing dose weakin the setting because when I first got the ring and they had to size it to a sz 9 after wearing it for awhile the diamond became loose in the setting,so be careful.I too am working on my hubby for a new ring as our 15th anniversary is coming up this summer!!:thumbup:

      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.
