Whatever you Celebrate I hope you have a great HOLIDAY SEASON :)

In 2016 I am going to:

Get a better electronic scale - one that measures body fat.

Get a Bod Pod reading done - I was supposed to go last week to get a baseline body fat % but my mom got sick.

REACH MY GOAL WEIGHT

Be consistent with exercise

Be outside more with my nieces and nephews doing things like taking walks, biking, hiking, etc.

Do a zip line tour

Take my Vitamins and supplements EVERY DAY

Continue to attend my follow up appointments with the bariatric team

Continue to attend my monthly support group

Help my mom through the process of getting a surgery date for herself :)

That's it for now!

Wow, I had not thought of it in terms of a resolution, but I, too, will reach my goal weight in 2016. I am coming off of a one-year stall. I have slightly over 50 pounds to lose to get to my desired goal weight. I recommitted recently and I am working with someone daily. She told me that I will achieve that goal. So 2016 it is!

Love your list!

Never heard of the Bod Pod before. Think I'm gonna get it done as well!!

I use the Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi Smart scale. It's not the most accurate at measuring body fat. Then again, I haven't found any home-based devices that are really accurate at measuring body fat. Really neat that you're helping your mom through the process.

Merry Christmas!

I recently did the bodpod and plan to remeasure in 6 months!

I got a DEXA scan (similar to bod pod) pre op and then a year post when I reached goal. I truly loved having that info and would totally recommend! It also gave me insight into how accurate my scale that gives body fat % is (good for spotting trends, but not fully accurate it's a Fitbit Aria and is about 5% off on average compared to the DEXA).

My goal is to be better about my VITAMINS!!!!

      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!
