I don't own a scale!



Recommended Posts

I'm very pleased with my progress so far. I was sleeved 10/7/2013 and I'm now 2 months out went from a size 22 to 16! I last weighed on my visit to the doctor 11/20/13. I have a scale at home but it doesn't work. I want to know what my current weight is but I'll have too wait. The reason I hadn't brought one is cause I don't want abuse it.

Probably smart not to own a scale..I have one and I know the last time I lost weight I was a slave to the scale..every pound lost or gained became a huge thing..wait till your check ups with your doctors..let your clothes be a guide.

That's the exact reasons I don't want one in my home right now.

i don't own one and i'm so happy that i don't. every time i go to the doctor i'm worried i'm not going to lose as much as i did the month before, but i'm always happy when i lose more! i'm glad i don't have one at home because i would be obsessive, plus i trust the doctors scale more than a home one. one time i weighed myself the week after a drs appt at my friends and it said i GAINED two pounds. i went to the dr the next day and i had actually lost 5 that week. better consistency using the same scale!

At first flowing my surgery I weighed myself daily. Then I gradually started weighing in once a week or so. I like watching the numbers go down. It makes me feel proud to be getting smaller. I have worked hard to see it.

      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.

      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!
