What are your non-scale goals??



Recommended Posts

I am putting together a list for myself. It includes everything I CAN'T WAIT to do once I lose weight!! My favorite is to be able to cross my legs. But I also have things like not shopping in the plus size stores, not struggling to put my shoes on, etc. My hope is that I can look at this list when things get tough and be able to re-motivate myself.

So what's on your list? I want to make my list as long as possible so I feel fantastic when I am able to cross something off!

Big goal get into a regular size 10!!

LAP BAND GOALS

1. Be able to go clothes shopping at NY & Co.

2. Wear my wedding band and/or engagement ring. (Haven't been able to wear for 10 years)

3. Have a Facebook profile picture. I always use a landscape or my kids as a profile pic because I am ashamed and would be mortified for those I went to high school with to see what I look like now. (My weight DOUBLED since graduation)

4. I have a son with special needs and I need to stick around for a long time because he probably won't be be able to live on his own.

5. Good health, both mentally and physically.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
