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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
