I just wanted to share my experience. I was a neurotic daily weigher for about 15 months post surgery. And this far out it's no more honeymoon. For the past two weeks I have not stepped on the scale. I feel much calmer and peaceful. I'm not obsessing about my numbers on scale hence I'm not getting upset as much and having negative thoughts about my WLS journey. These days I have amped my workouts and I can feel my muscles toning. And it motivates me to keep working out harder and eat right.

I am 3 1/2 months out. I will lose weight 1 week and then stall for 7-10 days. I've been doing this since week 2. The scale continues to go down, sometimes very slowly, so I'm happy. It's just part of the process.

How are you doing?

Im 8 weeks post op and I finally started exercising yesterday. I walked a half mile yesterday and a mile today. I feel good and im very motivated. Hopefully I keep it up.

I'm doing pretty good.

I have a 10 day pre-op & 2 day liquid only instructions. I went to town my last day before pre-op!!! Hot dogs, chips & queso for lunch, chocolate chip cookies (freshly baked!) dipped in milk as a snack. Dinner was white rice & ribeye steak. Dessert was a pint of ice cream. That all sounds SOOOOOO gross now but I don't regret it. 'Twas a great last meal day! I cheated day 5 of pre-op. My kids (5&7) wanted to go to McDonalds. I impulsively got myself a meal for dinner. I emotionally felt terrible after, though my body felt fine. I cheated myself! But every other moment I have been fully disciplined. Not one snack outside of my 2 protein shakes & 4 oz protein w veggies for dinner. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This was published the day of my surgery. I found it incredibly accurate and informative. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/27/health/bariatric-surgery.html?smprod=nytcore-ipad&smid=nytcore-ipad-share Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I felt very much the same way. I was totally made up in my mind to have to surgery so that's how I took it God in prayer. I wanted it, was scared, nervous and willing to be obedient. I knew I had prayed for so any other things and this surgery was an answer to those prayers. But you know what's going on with you. The feeling of dying on the table is normal and being scared that you will be punished by death is also normal. Like other said. Listen for the holy spirit to guide you and go with it. Nothing makes response more clear than a little fasting and praying. Sent from my iPhone
