Anyone lose any rings?



Recommended Posts

Its a slow day here, am I was sitting here thinking. I was 225 when I got married 28 years ago. I use to travel a lot and when I got down to 195, I'm thinking this was 1985 or so, I was in Missouri and I noticed my wedding ring was missing and I suspected it came off while I slept. (Ladies, this is the truth) I was lucky and did go back to the hotel room and was able to find it in the bed. I'm getting close to getting back to that weight and I see my ring is very loose. I'll have to look into one of those ring guards. Just thought I would mention it in case it saves someone from losing a more expensive piece of jewelry.

I just told my hubby the other day that i need to get a ring guard because my ring is so lose i'm afraid it's going to fall off and i won't notice! It's insured, but it still wouldn't be the same having to replace it! I'm not ready to have it sized down....i had it sized to be able to wear it, and i don't want to do anything to it until i KNOW it won't have to be sized again!

I had to get a new wedding ring because mine was so big. Being a guy my ring is cheap so ts nothing to just buy a new ring as my body keeps shrinking.

I've had my wedding and engagement rings resized twice and they're too big again - not wearing them at the moment.

I actually dont wear them that often anyway, as my tastes have changed a LOT since I got married 20 years ago and I tend to wear very different style of jewellery now, not really big on traditional feminine pretty jewellery and much more likely to go for something much more modern/funkier. So at the moment I've got a sterling silver dome ring on my wedding finger.

DH isnt fussed, he'd rather I do that than shell out AGAIN for resizing, and I think I'll wait and remodel the rings entirely. They're yellow gold which I no longer wear at all.

I have ring guards on my wedding ring and had them for a couple of months now. I have also noticed that my watch slings all around my wrists - need a link or 2 taken out before I lose it.

Even though I have only lost twenty pounds, I have lost inches so my rings are sort of rolling around on my fingers. Will wait until I (hopefully) reach my goal to get them sized. I had already had them redone for my 20th anniversary and love them so I will have them sized. Can't wait till that day comes. Good point BillOh. Maybe it will help someone remember to get a guard or sizing.

This is such a great problem to have! My wedding ring finger has shrunk and so has my wrist apparently:)

I was at a restaurant with my kids the day before yesterday and as i was wiping my hands I felt a thud on the floor. I has no idea what it was but I checked my finger and my ring was missing. I looked down and there between my feet was my ring. I never felt it come off.

It it had not been for the thud and the fact that it was a moment that my kids were being very quiet I would have lost my ring. I need to get a ring guard...and soon!

This -->Tiffany & Co. | Item | Frank Gehry® Torque hoop earrings in sterling silver. | United States

is my gift to myself for getting, and staying under 200.

This--->Tiffany & Co. | Item | Frank Gehry® Torque ring in 18k black gold, narrow. | United States

is my gift when I get to 150.

I chose the earrings now because I don't want to get the ring sized after losing another 50 lbs!!

My engagement ring is super loose and I will have to get a ring guard as well.

I just ordered the earrings 10 minutes ago:smile2:

I need to have mine sized too because they are flopping all over my finger, I would be sick if I lost my diamond Hubby surprised my last year with a 1 1/2 ct. I still have 35-40lbs to go and then I will size them.

At least now you have thought of it before then. While my ring is an ultra cheap band, its the one I put on when I got married 28 years ago, you can't replace that.

Jewelry is my gift to myself, as well. My engagement ring has been sized up and down so many times that the band is real thin. Plus, the stone sits high and it gets caught on just about everything. When I break into wonderland (24 lbs to go, woo-hoo) I get a trinity ring. I'm looking at one that is amethyst, which is my hubs birthstone.

I like the jewelry you've chosen.

I went to a jewelry store and purchased gold sizers that were quickly (within 3-4 minutes) placed within my rings. They can easily be tightened by me as I continue to lose weight and work wonderfully at keeping my rings on my finger. They are not noticeable by anyone else and I am in no hurry to have my rings sized even though I am close to goal, I am not sure I am quite there so why hurry? I am not worried about losing my rings anymore and I paid about $20 a ring to keep them on my finger, a great investment.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
