The biggest reward for me is the constant compliments....It has been a very long time since I have had a compliment on my appearance and once they started to come, with all my hard work, it felt so rewarding.

Also, we usually take a vacation in January but can't this new year because of work we have scheduled in the restaurant so instead we are staying at the Four Seasons Yorkville in Toronto for 3 nights over Christmas when we go to visit family and friends.....this is kind of a reward too since it is hugely extravagant on our part....can't wait!

Clothes, clothes, clothes. I go shopping every 2 weeks right now. I am down 2 sizes on the bottom and 3 on the top since June. I am also going to a dermatologist to have some work done on my sun damage. We'll see how well my skins turns out.

I bought myself a walkman CD player for 50 lbs. I get audio books on CD from the library and just get lost in a book while walking. I am almost at 75 lbs (5 months!) and I've been thinking about it. It's fun wondering what I should reward myself with.

I have all ready set up some goals and rewards for myself. For 20 lbs it will be a manicure/ pedicure. For 40 lbs a facial. For 60 lbs a theater show. For 80 lbs a massage and for 100lbs a trip either to Disney world or some tropical local. I'm hoping all these self indulgent rewards will motivate me during the rough times.

Okay, I will start by saying I'm a 48 year old, educated and for the most part, demure woman....but I think one of my favorite NSV's will be ....

when a man bumps into me because he is trying to cop a feel, not just because my ass is in his airspace....

....sigh....I am but weak flesh.... :faint:

I think Ropers are shoes, like cowgirls and boys wear. they are boots, and they have little tassle things at the tongue. Very country. but they are cool, and expensive and quite a reward if your into that. good for you!!

I had to lay off the shopping, it was getting out of control. But I can shop now more than I could because i dont have to pay $80 for a Tshirt, like I had to when I wore plus sizes. So I'm enjoying spying something and being able to have it and it not costing a fortune.

Running is my reward, to be able to just go out for a run and it not kill me but rather, make me feel good! I love it.

My first reward was my son asking if it bothered me to make him a sandwich. He was very impressed that it didn't make me nuts because I'm still on liquids!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
