What's Your Goal Weight Gift to Yourself?



Recommended Posts

I'm not sure I'm doing this right. I think I'm responding, but still getting questions that I answered. Maybe with time.

That's a beautiful tattoo! What a great reward.

I am being rewarded this may with a trip to Ireland!! I have wanted to go my whole life, and to know I will be close to goal weight will be amazing. I will be able to hike and bike!

Take lots of pics!!! I hear it's just gorgeous over there, especially country side. My friend went a couple years back and didn't want to come home. LOL have fun with your trip, it's almost here!

How about Angel's Landing in Utah? That's on my list..

I never heard of it before so looked it up. It looks gorgeous, but I could never do it - I suffer from serious vertigo, so anything that has me at a high place with a lot of drops around me is not safe for me.

I'm using the word מוקדשת. which is the female version of set apart/consecrated/sanctified. I'm using these guys: http://www.hebrew-tattoos.com/our-works I'll definitely post photos when it's done!

I may just have to copy you on this one too. In addition to my lace piece, I'm just in love with yours. Thank you for the site. I'm saving it. I've got the tickles in my chest thinking about the words ...set apart/consecrated/sanctified. He is good! Wow. :) Thank you!

That is unfortunate.. but understanding! It's not for the feint of heart, or vertigo-prone.

Oh my Lord...I just watched a video on YouTube....my heart wants to thump out of my chest! LOL Not for me!!! Oh, and I deal with that nasty vertigo too. Ugh!

I'm going to copy you on this! I think I'll end up needing a small tuck, and definitely will need a breast lift. I need it now and I'm pre-op. Going to tell my husband that I'm putting away money every month towards this. What a great idea!

Oh, I'm definitely getting my boobs done first! :-)

Me too! (They're actually something that needed to be done before surgery, so they are first on my list regardless of whatever else I need).

Ooh, that's very meaningful. I was thinking what I could do to make the lace tat more meaningful in regards to losing the weight but can't think of anything. ? I do think I might place a tiny tat on the top of my hand near the thumb and forefinger, not sure what that area is called, that's says something to the tune of "never again 266" IMG_2270.thumb.JPG.baa4296bcc4e9308e5310fd9f6d43b8c.JPG

Mine will be some high-end fashion! Not an entire wardrobe, but some classic pieces. Although after reading this thread, I kind of want to get a new tattoo. :lol:

Lol i am not quite the fan of Chinese letters although I think it's pretty. If anything else, it'll be Hebrew. But I showed my husband the pic and he says "if you're all (whatever Spanish name he said) then get it there". Lol. Not sure what it was though, but says it means to the tune of "all gangster girl-like". Haha! Definitely am not gangster. ???

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
