I hate my scale! It lies!



Recommended Posts

Anyone else with me on that?! :thumbup:

Ignore my ticker but I'm trying to lose the 30 lbs my surgeon wants me to lose before I get the band and it's friggin hard and my scale lies!

On the 5th it said I had lost about 9 lbs... 5 days later this morning it said I gained 5 back! :frown: What the heck?! :thumbup:

I haven't been doing absolutely GREAT with the diet but I've been eating way less and way better than what I normally do and drinking Water and I had maintained the same weight for at least a year before this. I'm ready to slam that scale against the wall! Omg!

I'm going on a partial liquid diet today, shakes and sensible dinner only. :seeya:

Are you near TOM? I know when I am, I avoid the scale because I always go up a few #'s :frown:, but they come right at the end, so... among many other reasons, this could be it...

Good luck with the weight loss and upcoming surgery :thumbup:

Well, it could be dependant on when you weigh yourself, i think that its best to weigh yourself in the morning right when you get up right after you use the bathroom. That is when you get the best reading!! I think so anyways, hopefully this might help!

You can go up and down quite a bit during the day. Also, if you are eating those frozen meals or commercial foods they have tons of salt in them. I found that I bloat up quite badly if I don't stay away from them.

      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.

        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!
