Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I'm going to start a list non-food rewards to use as motivation for staying on track both before and after my surgery. So far I have the more obvious ones...mani/pedi, massage, jewelry, nail polish/make-up...but I'm looking for more ideas.

What types of Atta-Girls/Boys are you giving yourself for making good choices? Thanks! B)

I know when I reach my goal weight I'm getting a Michael Kors purse. I don't really have any mini-goal rewards. I'm already really good at loving myself and showering myself with gifts :)

My rewards have been new jeans, tops, massage, Oh and I have a big one A hot airbaloon ride/wine tour. (this is a bucket list item) It was my gift to myself when I got to 240 as I hadn't seen that number in 8 years. Also I can't do it till Aug so I am hoping it will be a combo onederland gift too. :) I am going to start putting money away for my breast lift and TT. So no more big $$ rewards just little ones and a piggy bank.

Concerts, clothes, new gadgets for phone, camera, n computer. N kitchen stuff. U could do every mini goal (like 5 lbs) equals $5, put it in a jar til the big goals hit, count it up and blow it all on u

I'm thinking big & long term on this one. My reward to myself when I hit goal weight is a really nice custom tailored suit. Haven't decided on whethered it's gonna be Brooks Bros or Armani yet but it's gonna be rrediculously expensive & I'm gonna look great in it :D

I'm afraid that I am like SexySlim on this one. I very much believe in pampering myself, so it is hard to think of routine treats that would be meaningful. I'm buying myself the classic Coach weekend duffle when I reach goal.

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
