I had to put my scale someplace I'm too lazy to get to everyday because I too was obsessing over numbers and I haven't even had my surgery yet! I've never felt better for it! I think it's a great idea to take a step back and just do you. It may be easier to take small steps first. You could start by cutting out 1 or 2 of the sites you visit most. Then see how you feel. Give hiding your scale a try! Also take weekly or even daily pictures of yourself wearing the same thing. A picture is worth a thousand numbers! Buy clothes that are a little too small and see how much better they fit you every time you decide to try it on! You've got this sis!

Doing my high protein low carb diet around 800 calories a day, and no meat during the week I definitely need to drink a **** tone of water in order to have a proper daily ****! A gallon does the trick. It's going to be hell not drinking a gallon a day after WLS. Ah first world country problems.

Are those 6-7 grams of sugar added sugar or just naturally occurring? Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Girl get the them titties lifted if you want to! Age ain't nothing but a number!

Yeah I'm definitely going to need the Leonardo Da Vinci of surgeons to fix this Picasso of a body once I'm done molding it as best I can. 🤣 You did an amazing job sis! Thanks So much for sharing with us!

That coat is everything! I wear stuff similar to that all the time. Fits my whole "corporate goth" look. Back in middle/high school my mom said I would grow out of it. No ma'am. It just got more expensive 😂

Hey now.. I am the product of a barmance that turned into a very happy, very love filled 33 year marriage for my parents. 😂 Not all people in bars are bottom feeders! Not to mention many of the people that attend shul, mosque, or church were probably at the bar on Saturday night 🤣

I don't know how much he weighed sis but it sounds to me you've just dropped a **** ton of excess weight in only 7 days after surgery! Time to celebrate!

Sorry if I'd been on call that night I would have been pissed. Off. Royally. Would not have said a word outside my head, but inside? Baaaaby! A terrible place to be indeed!

OK that sucks then! I live in a fairly pretentious area and there's this spa that offers that just for the hell of it. You can get your face dewrinkled, your ass fat lasered, and a vitamin cocktail delivered straight to your blood stream all at one stop shop!

Hey sis! There is an awesome place near me that offers this service. How often were you getting this done?

My surgeon isn't fat but he doesn't make my panties wet either. (Sorry Doc if you see this please don't leave a piece of gauze inside of me. I still think your french accent is f**king hot!)

I was trying to tell my bariatric skrink this same thing. SHE was trying to tell me that shouldn't be a high priority goal. I was like, look lady. I'm as feminist as it gets, just shy of radical only because I know we need men to procreate.🤣 Is it so wrong that I want to look good on the arm of my wife? Not even for the sake of my OWN feelings? My MAIN reason for doing this was my diabetes diagnosis. I told my doc at the time, " hell naw! I'm 27, I aint takin' no insulin! Get off my lawn!" She told me. Well I guess yo big ass better lose some weight! OK she didn't say it like that. Tad more professional. So my reasons for doing this are very logical and reasonable. It just irks me whenever I mention that I also want to FEEL pretty, it upsets her for some reason.

Pics or it didn't happen <,<

Challenge Starting weight: My current weight is 251. I'm down 10lbs since Nov 27th and 29lbs overall! whoo hoo! I'm going to smash that surgery once I have it! I wasn't supposed to weight myself until the 27th because I was becoming obsessed with the scale so I had to take it to the basement behind the furnace. I was just to curious because I feel great! I won't be weighting myself again until the 27th. Current weight lost: 29lbs Losing or maintaining weight: losing Fitness/exercise goal: I bought this awesome desk elliptical thingy called Cubii jr. I love it! I use it at my desk all day. I'm gonna have legs like Tina Turner! I also do upper body weight training with resistance bands. Total weight loss at the end of challenge: (Post January 1st 2019) Check in: Tell us how you are doing - (How is your diet and exercise plan going? Any struggles? Stress level? What have you overcome? Any strategies that have helped) I've stepped up my IF game to 20/4 on weekdays and 18/6 on weekends. So far so good! 160lb here I come!

Hi surgery Twin! I don't know the time of my surgery but I mine is scheduled for the 15th as well! I must also point out that as a Dragon, I approve of your username. Much better than an Argonian maid!

Gotcha! What were their reasons for using staples? Years ago I had a small surgery in a weird area. The staples hurt when they were removed but it was in an odd area.

Staples where? The incisions on your stomach form the surgery? Or like staples in general? Because yeah that **** hurts. Other than that, there's way too many variables we're missing to determine your possible pain. Good luck sis!😊

My 2 rules that I have been very successful with. 1) No meat on the weekdays. Now I'm a Dragon. If the cow is branded, it 'sdone lets eat! That being said. This has been working for me so well! I've been going strong for about a month now. I've also discovered some great recipes and alternatives I never had the courage to try before. 2) No calories before 12pm and after 8pm. I've been enjoying IF, it's really helped me change how I view food. Unfortunately I've picked up other unsavory habits now that I don't overeat. Hey, I'm working on me.

Ask your surgeon because the hospital may supply you with one as well, so you'll have 2, awesome! The order my doc gave to the hospital says place binder on patient in pre-op

I'm always amazed at how nice most of the vets are to the folks that come in with "Help! I'm blah blah years out and I've regained a million pounds! What did I do wrong? Did I stretch my stomach?" You seriously have no clue what you could have done wrong? I don't know about you, but if I was smashing mostly healthy food everyday and GAINED weight consistently for such a long period of time, I'd be scared as f**k! I would be rolling my ass to the MD because clearly my body has me fucked up. That ain't normal.

Hey surgery twin! I'm 1/15 as well.

Guys I'm feeling so fucked up. So much stuff is going on that's not bariatric elated. I really need some help. I'm at work right now so I can't take my proper medication. The next best thing for me is music because I refuse to acknowledge the pile of treats and crap given to me by various people at our holiday party today. I'm tired of my playlist. Send me some positive vibes. If you can embed a video from youtube great! If not just type the song name and artist. I'll listen to any genre anyone submits as long as it's positive! Help me Obi-wan Kenobi. You're my only hope!

Alright y'all. I'm going to need some more music. I know you people like music! Send me your motivational tunes! Any genre!
