Present for yourself?



Recommended Posts

Did anyone buy a present for themselves after getting banded (apart from the band itself of course :->)

I bought myself a Pandora Bracelet. Silver with a Gold Clasp. I decided I would buy myself a gold/silver bead (charm) and a gold separator charm for every 5 kgs I lose. So far I have 3 gold/silver beads and 3 gold separators.

I figure by the time I get to goal weight it will be nice and full, and will mean a lot to me.

What a great idea for the braclet. I didn't buy myself a gift until I started changing sizes. Then, every time I went shopping, I'd tell DH that I am celebrating because I lost, X number of pounds.

One day he said, "You're always celebrating!" I said, "I know, I have a lot to Celebrate and I keep changing sizes so I deserve it!"

Happy Friday everyone!

I have decided I am going to get a tattoo on the inside of my wrist when I lose 40kg to remind me everyday of where I have been and how far I have come.

Oh yeah and as a mid way present we might go to Melbourne to see 'Wicked' the musical.

I have toyed with the idea of getting a tattoo too when I get to goal, but we'll see how I feel when I get there!

I treat myself pretty much everytime I go to the shops. I'm a total clothes horse these days! I love shopping WAY too much!

Nat, what are you going to tattoo on your wrist? I too have considered getting a tattoo when I reach goal. I saw where an actress, not one I'm fond of, but she tattooed "Breathe" on the inside of her wrist in white. She's white, so it barely showed up and I thought that was king of a neat idea, but couldn't decide what I would put there. Maybe "01/04/2008", my bandiversary date.

I'd love to hear ideas from the rest of you!

That is very funny because one of the words I have been considering is breathe, I didnt know any actress had it I just thought it kind of rang a bell with me, I have not decided and I have a while to think about it but I wont get anything until I am 100% happy Im not going to permanently mark myself with anything I will regret in 6 months.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
