Thinking Ahead To Reaching My Goal...



Recommended Posts

SO, when I reach my goal weight I'd like to get a tattoo to commemorate the accomplishment and to act as a reminder to never return to my old weight/ways. What would you get tattoo'ed and where for such a reason? I'm looking for ideas! I would not want anything big or hugely noticeable. This will be my first tattoo!

I don't have an answer for you just maybe a suggestion. I got a tattoo (my first and only) when I was 37 at a major transition time from me. I had been thinking about getting one for years. I have a trinity knot (looks like the charmed logo from the tv show) It actually is suppose to stand for the evolution of a woman.... Its small and on my shoulder. It always reminds me of my transformation in that time of my life. I am also of Irish/Scottish decent so it really fit for me. Maybe a nice little bird to show you are about to take off with a new life. I hope you find the perfect thing and that you hit your goal soon! :)

I have always thought cherry blossoms and koi fish were beautiful because of what they symbolize.

A set of scales, like the scales of justice, or the horoscope symbol, to remind you to keep everything in balance.

One girl in another post got the coolest tattoo. She got onederland tattooed on herself after she got below 200. I thought that was the neatest thing and one of the coolest ways to commemorate something so important.

Personally I have been waiting until I lost weight to get about 3 tattoos. The are already designed and waiting for me. I can't wait until I get below my 200 mark and can get them done!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
