only lost a pound and stalls...



Recommended Posts

to gain actual/true weight is to eat more calories than one burns off...

3500 calories is a pound ate or drank.......and if you dont know or believe, but
if one loses inches, they are losing weight regardless of what the scale says or dont say..

scale goes up and down all day long... last but not least, understand, you wont lose it all over night...if you cant be positive now, what will you do when it does really slow down?? give up? bit* , p*iss, moan???


NO, you keep doing the right thing and let the band, or any wls work and we help by doing our part

...its a day in and day out process..

if you are able to walk.......that is a NSV

if you can wipe your ass.....that is a NSV

if you can put your own socks on.....that is a NSV

if you can sit on a chair or bed no longer fearing it breaking...that is a NSV

these are some of my personal NSV's after i had WLS

i did not care what the scale said (still dont as i go by losing inches/clothes getting bigger on me)

i did not care if i ever got to be a size 2

i wanted to be able to do those things

merely WALKING without fear of passing out due to heavy breathing

merely sitting down somewhere not being scared the chair would break

(like in the movie shallow hal)

trust me, those NSV mean a lot MORE than a stupid ass number on a scale

when you go from wearing a TIGHT size stretch 30 to a snug 12/14 ......you understand

when inches lost means losing TRUE weight...

only lost a pound?

how about being able to live comfortably

its about health

not about being skinny or a size...

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
