Hello Twoderville! How do I celebrate? Ideas?



Recommended Posts

I am so very happy I finally made it out of the 300s this morning a number I never want to see again! But the question now is how to Celebrate this milestone? Our culture is so centered on food and drinks to celebrate, but those things got me into the 300s to begin with! So how do you all celebrate these milestones post op?

Massage?

New workout toy - Fitbit, new shoes, new workout music?

A walk in a new place? New adventure??

A car detailing?

Anything that would be a treat to you that doesn't involve food!!!

Buy yourself something you have wanted new tennis shoes - new belt- new car stereo whatever makes you happy!

When I get under 200 I'm buying new cowboy boots!

Congrats! That's a great accomplishment! I plan on buying some new clothes to help Celebrate breaking my weight level. Or maybe a nice pedicure, since I haven't one I a while! ;)

Congradulations! I would normally say go get a colorful manicure... (which is what I will do when I'm below 300) but for getting below 400 I bought myself about $200 worth of books. (I had a couple gift cards) I would mainly think of something you really enjoy and then... over do it just a little. Obviously not food or beverage related. What are some of the things you like to do but don't necessarily sound like rewards?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
