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!

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.

      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!
