That's a great reminder! With all the "I only lost X amount!" and "The scale won't move" posts, this is a nice pick me up for all of us. The scale does not define you! =) Thanks!

i say stay off the scale. weigh only once per month..........TOO MANY things influence tha "SCALE NUMBER".......... omg, I only lost a pound..........forget last time you weighed you gained 7 LBS............ you have had a lifesaving surgery... YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE WEIGHT, due to WHAT YOU ARE EATING calorie wise........ stay OFF the scale, it will ONLY DISCOURAGE you............ focus on liquids, working out................and how your clothes are fitting........NOT THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE!!!

Love it and so true!!!

I had my follow up with my surgeon yesterday and said something similar, while I still weigh myself everyday, the value I am getting from my life now is how I feel and how I look, the number is still a part of my journey, but the smallest part now.

Knocking this back to the TOP for those that are WORRIED about the # on the BEAST MACHINE....

reminder, you are going to lose weight, just because you cannot eat the CALORIES you ate before

FOCUS on your Water, Protein, Vitamins and working out....

you may not lose a pound, BUT those clothes are going to fit you differantly BECAUSE you are losing INCHES.....

I weighed the same for a MONTH....... did not lose ONE POUND, but after trying on a shirt that was TOO TIGHT, it is ALMOST TOO LOOSE!!. Please do not put so much focus on the # Enjoy your journey.... take care of your body... focus on the correct things.......... this is a NEW LIFESTYLE..... ROCK that sleeve! :) Ü

      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.

        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!
