That's a great reminder! With all the "I only lost X amount!" and "The scale won't move" posts, this is a nice pick me up for all of us. The scale does not define you! =) Thanks!

i say stay off the scale. weigh only once per month..........TOO MANY things influence tha "SCALE NUMBER".......... omg, I only lost a pound..........forget last time you weighed you gained 7 LBS............ you have had a lifesaving surgery... YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE WEIGHT, due to WHAT YOU ARE EATING calorie wise........ stay OFF the scale, it will ONLY DISCOURAGE you............ focus on liquids, working out................and how your clothes are fitting........NOT THE NUMBER ON THE SCALE!!!

Love it and so true!!!

I had my follow up with my surgeon yesterday and said something similar, while I still weigh myself everyday, the value I am getting from my life now is how I feel and how I look, the number is still a part of my journey, but the smallest part now.

Knocking this back to the TOP for those that are WORRIED about the # on the BEAST MACHINE....

reminder, you are going to lose weight, just because you cannot eat the CALORIES you ate before

FOCUS on your Water, Protein, Vitamins and working out....

you may not lose a pound, BUT those clothes are going to fit you differantly BECAUSE you are losing INCHES.....

I weighed the same for a MONTH....... did not lose ONE POUND, but after trying on a shirt that was TOO TIGHT, it is ALMOST TOO LOOSE!!. Please do not put so much focus on the # Enjoy your journey.... take care of your body... focus on the correct things.......... this is a NEW LIFESTYLE..... ROCK that sleeve! :) Ü

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
