Stop stepping on the scale EVERYDAY! I weighed this morning and will weigh on the 9th for my over the phone consult with my doctor ( I am not driving 3 hours for a 15 min doctor visit LOL) and then i am going to try weighing on the first of each month ( that is the ultimate goal) going foward. I am going to try and start weekly i guess. I dont know LOL i just know i need to stop stepping on it every day.

Sporadically using a wifi scale has done very good things for my sanity. Something about it being tracked in an app without any intervention from me makes it easier not to obsess over the numbers. Also the app puts it into a trend line, which is very grounding: I can see that I had an unusually sharp loss at the start of the month, so this "stall" is probably just catch-up. Or I can see that even though I feel like I'm not losing right now, the trend line is still steep.

I get on the scale maybe three times a week. I'm vaguely interested in the number that shows but it doesn't stick in my brain, and I can just wait until I'm in a better/more motivated/interested headspace to actually open the app and check progress.

I dont focus on the numbers really, unless i am on a stall and want to see when it moves. But overall The numbers are just that. As long as i am doing what i am supposed to be doing i know it will change in the right direction.

I HATE SCALES!!! All those years that I felt so humiliated getting on the darn things. Weight Watchers, TOPS NUTRSYSTEM more than 2 or more times. Dr. Appointments. I HATE scales did I say that before? LOL But after my RNY it was exciting to weigh 1 time a week. Always on Monday morning. I found out that I can refuse to weigh when I go to the DR, so guess what it has kept me off the scales for 9 months at least. Until the last appointment, she asked me to weigh!! NOPE I told her I would next appointment. I know I am still maintaining between 125 & 130. I JUST HAVE PANIC ATTACKS ABOUT THOSE DARN SCALES!! I'm sorry I got off the wall about them!! I would just say weigh 1 time a week and at ur DR's

Agree, every day is too often imo. I step on about once a week.

I’m doing twice a week. Mostly so I can plug it into my app!

      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!
