My relationship with my scale...



Recommended Posts

So thru out this journey my relationship with my scale hasnt always been a good one. There have been times when Ive wanted to throw it against the wall... When Ive wanted to throw it in the trash. As a matter of fact, I did throw it in the trash. Only to buy another one 10 days later. My scale has made me smile and made me cry! My scale has been my worst enemy and my bestfriend at the same damn time!!... As u can tell me and my scale has something real ????. We are in this for the long haul... Lately we've been in good standings cuz the numbers has been going down and Im almost at goal. I really had to get it together tho. I kno I wasnt always doing things right or to my full potential. So, I had to take a look at self and really start putting in some real effort. I started going to the gym 5-6 days a week for 45mins minium. Protien & Water has never been a problem for me. Just the exercising part. But, now I look forward to going to the gym. It makes my day! And, have truly improved my relationship with my scale.

Well here's some stats:

HW: 223lbs

SW: 203lbs

CW: 148.4lbs

GW: 135lbs but now thinking 130lbs

Height: 5'

Surgery Date: 6/22/15

This is why it's really important for us to focus more on the non scale victories (NSV's) as opposed to the numbers. We all have been guilty of getting too damn wrapped up in the numbers, and can lose site of what is really important, like feeling and looking healthier.

Good job on your progress! You've done great!

      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.
