Was jumping on the scale once or twice a day. I stayed the same this week, but I am wearing a smaller shirt and pulled my belt buckle in a notch!

Thinking even once or twice a month may be better for weigh in. Want to focus on a better life not a number.

Yeah, it is hard to stay away from the scale. Great philosophy to work on better life and not a number...I will have to remember this when I get sleeved.

I plan on taking my weight and measurements monthly from the day of my surgery, 12/19. I don't want to obsess about the scale, I see too many people on here panic when they have a stall. When my clothes fall off I'll know I'm good lol

I had my hubby hide the scale. I cant not step on it every time I go in there. Now it is just once a week and much better!

The latter is a better plan. I don't have enough control to only weigh twice a month. Lol. It takes lots of will power from me to weigh only once a week. It also is a good idea to take measurements. This helped get me through a couple stalls.

Great idea on taking measurements. I should do that tomorrow for the "starting" measurements. I have an old unreliable scale and keep thinking I should replace it before surgery but I cam be compulsive about weighing myself even before I've had surgery so for now I am just relying on the weigh ins at the doctors office.

I have refused to purchase a scale right now. I will when I am 3months postoperative.

From the start i've decided that there will be no scale in my house. I see a doctor/nut enough that if i only gauge my weight-loss off visits to their office i will be okay. Its worked out great so far, and i've only gained once, but that was within 24 hrs and 2 different dr scales (one was digital and the other was analogue, and it was a diff of about 1 pound).

No need to obsess over a number when i can just focus on how i feel...

      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!
