Thinking about getting a tat after my surgery and when I'm a year post-op. Maybe a poisoned cupcake or something. So my question is has anyone got a tattoo after weightless surgery about there journey. If so what is it?

Jessica. can't wait to start this journey.

Butterfly is a great idea, since it used to be a caterpillar that ate and ate and got fatter and fatter. I would love to get a butterfly to represent this.

I saw someone else posted getting the tattoo on their wrist so they can see it when they eat. I already have quite a few tattoos but they are easily hidden. I think after my surgery though that I will make the leap for the wrist tattoo. I want to get a pocket watch maybe and the time will be 4:40 because the hands will be on the 4 and 8 and my surgery is on 4/8. My only issue is how long after should I get this. I want it as a reminder when I eat but what if I fail. That would then be my only regrettable tattoo I would have.

I have no tats, and I simply love your idea. My only deal would be I'd have to add a cancer ribbon of sorts to the body of the burtterfly :) let me know if you come up with anything

Why not have the ribbon be the body of the butterfly. One of my weight loss goals is to learn to tattoo. I already have a place that will apprentice me, but I have a lot of nerve pain due to my weight so I don't want to start until my nerve pain is resolved. I have a degree in art and really miss painting. I work in insurance now and I am obviously not very happy. I would not tattoo for a living but for a hobby.

I saw that one and thought it was super cute. Maybe I can add that to my leg sleeve. I think I still want one on my wrist though as a visible reminder.

I always know of a lot of tattoos I want and it is difficult to decide what I want next. I am still on the fence as to when in my journey would I feel I need the one that represents my surgery. Do I get it right away or wait till my goal weight. I am kind of leaning towards getting it when I hit onederland.

I want to get "control yourself, take only what you need from it" on my side/rib cage. Kind of a reminder to eat well, have control, use food for nutrition not pleasure.

      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?

      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
