Addicted To The Scale



Recommended Posts

Know you're not supposed to weigh every day but I can't help it. I started my 2 week preop diet early, so it's awesome to actually SEE IT MOVING! How am I going to stay off of it post op? I know I'm going to be a slow loser. I've list 8 lbs in 2 weeks preop. A lot of people lose more.

I'm on that sucker every day!! Sometimes twice a day! LOL Mentally I know the weight isn't going to fall off and I am okay with that.... Hell, we didn't gain it overnight so we sure as hell aren't gonna lose it overnight... Some folks have to hide their scales because they get depressed when they see it not going down but just get your mind right and understand the process... I LOVE MY SCALE!! :)

Newbie

one of the 1rst rules you learn in Sleeveland is never, never, ever compare yourself to anyone else.

don't compare how much you've lost or didn't lose - how much time it took you to lose an amount of weight vs. someone else, losing different amounts of hair

losing 8lbs during pre-op is great, don't conside yourself a slow loser, you are a big loser - getting rid of all that "excess weight"

good luck

8 lbs is great. I read someone elses post on here saying "imagine one lb of butter for each lb lost", that really helped me.

      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!!

      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
