I weigh every day. I know. I know. Every one says it's not good for you. But I have a heart defect. I weigh every day to make sure I'm not taking on fluid. I weigh every day to make sure my salt intake isn't too much. I weigh every day to make sure I'm eliminating what I put in. I have read horror stories about VSG patients being admitted into the hospital for constipation. I so don't like hospitals. So I weight every day.
The trick is not getting to caught up in the number. I face my fear every day I get on the scale. When I don't magically lose 5 pounds over night, I take a deep breath and repeat to myself that I am not a failure. That this will take time. A year at least. If not more. Breathe in and breathe out. The weight will come off if I follow the rules. If I stick to the plan and do as I am told, I will lose the weight. I have to have faith.
