My relationship with my scale...



Recommended Posts

So thru out this journey my relationship with my scale hasnt always been a good one. There have been times when Ive wanted to throw it against the wall... When Ive wanted to throw it in the trash. As a matter of fact, I did throw it in the trash. Only to buy another one 10 days later. My scale has made me smile and made me cry! My scale has been my worst enemy and my bestfriend at the same damn time!!... As u can tell me and my scale has something real ????. We are in this for the long haul... Lately we've been in good standings cuz the numbers has been going down and Im almost at goal. I really had to get it together tho. I kno I wasnt always doing things right or to my full potential. So, I had to take a look at self and really start putting in some real effort. I started going to the gym 5-6 days a week for 45mins minium. Protien & Water has never been a problem for me. Just the exercising part. But, now I look forward to going to the gym. It makes my day! And, have truly improved my relationship with my scale.

Well here's some stats:

HW: 223lbs

SW: 203lbs

CW: 148.4lbs

GW: 135lbs but now thinking 130lbs

Height: 5'

Surgery Date: 6/22/15

This is why it's really important for us to focus more on the non scale victories (NSV's) as opposed to the numbers. We all have been guilty of getting too damn wrapped up in the numbers, and can lose site of what is really important, like feeling and looking healthier.

Good job on your progress! You've done great!

      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.

      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!
