is anyone NOT weighing themselves?



Recommended Posts

I weigh excessively because it helps to keep me on track. I've always been that way. If I quit doing it, then I'll go back to old habits or just say "oh my pants aren't tight - they shrunk" when in reality, they didn't. My waist expanded. LOL!

I keep my scale in my bathroom and every morning it comes out. I have the Weight Watchers scale that's glass and digital. LOVE that thing! It was like $25 at costco.

I weigh myself once a week. I'ts tempting some mornings but I have found I like the surprise each week. I would go crazy with flucuations if I weighed myself every day. However once I loose all my weight (42 pounds to get to goal) I plan on weighing myself everyday. If I see more then a 2-3 pound gain I know I need to reverse gears. Maybe go on liquids for 2-3 days.

Howdy! I only get weighed when I go for a fill or some other dr appt. I have been measuring my progress by how my clothes fit me and/or how my rings fit me. I do not have a working scale in the house b/c I know I would determine what kind of day I am going to have by the number on the scale. I know that I also have a tendency to think..."Hey! I've lost ___lbs so it will be ok for me to eat that hot fudge sundae that has been taunting me unmercifully!"

since i bought my scale, i've been weighing myself everyday looking for lower numbers. it's like some said... like an obsession of sorts. i wanna see a lower number every morning and sometimes i do and it's great. sometimes i don't and it's a little disappointing but i try not to let it get me down. what i need to do is stop weighing and start exercising. i'm being a little slow about starting on that. i need to get moving!!!!! :)

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
