How Often...weigh In/pictures



Recommended Posts

How often do you all jump on the scale? ? What milestones are you taking updated pictures? I took on day of surgery...and am trying to stay away from the scale until my follow-up appointment on 11/26.

Thanks!

Beth

This may TOTALLY not be for you, but I weigh every day. For me it's like driving. I don't know where I am if I'm not looking at where I'm going. I know it can be a problem for some but when I have a bad day, I need to see the damage, get over it and move forward. When I have a good day, I need that feedback.

I should be taking more pictures, but I have a few group photos that show the change. I think that's going to be my only regret.

I haven't had my surgery yet, but my plan is to weigh weekly and to take pictures monthly. I also plan to take my measurements (from my neck down to my calfs) monthly.

Yeah, I will probably also do measurements when I stall, so that I can at least see some numbers going down (hopefully :) ).

Every Sunday morning. I weigh in, measure as take a picture. The weekly change is crazy.

I weigh everyday and log it in a monthly calendar. I try not to let the daily weights bother me, I look for a pattern of loss and calculate my loss monthly. I measure myself monthly and I haven't been good about taking taking pictures. Good Luck with your plan.

I weigh every day when I'm home. I didn't take almost any pictures until about 50 pounds down. I kinda wish I had. If I could go back and do it again I think I would take pictures about every 15 pounds and at every month milestone.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
