I'm sorry if this topic is already posted somewhere, but I was thinking about how I'm going to reward myself for reaching mini goals. I'm a behaviorist and believe that rewarding myself is important! And I won't be able to do it with food once I'm sleeved! Anyhow, I have ideas like massages, mani/pedi, and of course new clothes and shoes, but I thought it would be fun to share new ideas!

Great suggestions…but those are things i do now…oy vey…lols how about trips to places u have never been before…tatts ouch!!!!…its the one thing I've always wanted but too whimpy to do….lol

And nausea medicine. .didn't even open that bottle yet since I got home on Tuesday. .not hungry at all..more mental hungry can I'm not chewing only liquid til next Wednesday. Sipping on my water bottle , broth and protein drinks. .small sips. Only thing that hurt is the gas pain. .OMG!! Feel bloated and pressure in left shoulder and next..taking gas X. Helps a little. .you will do great. .I was freaking out prior to surgery for no reason. .trust me..The gas pain is the worst. I have 5 small incisions. .very tiny. .Please keep me posted after your procedure.

I went on a cruise to the Bahamas when I lost 100 pounds!

Hi Piercedqt, sounds like you're doing exceptionally well! You're a success story for us all. Where did you get your surgery done?

A cruise is a great idea! I've never been on one and I'd love to!

I had my sleeve done in Jacksonville Florida at St. Vincent's Riverside Hospital with Dr. Uchal. I'm totally happy with my results!

It was my first, and we only did 3 nights. I was only home about 4 days before I was looking to book another longer trip. We are going again in Nov, for 6 nights, and my daughter is bringing her bff.
