I'm wondering how often everyone is weighing them selves? I waited a week to look (this morning) after my surgery. I found the number exciting, but I know it wont always be this substantial. . . Does getting on the scale daily/weekly/ect get anyone down? Or do you find it motivating? Is there a sweet spot frequency wise?

I am going through a phase of why can't I lose faster, why did I do this, I want to eat a big fat sub sandwich but can't!! I know in my heart I did the right thing but sometimes I get so down on myself. Similar feelings to pre-op when I felt stuck in my fat body and wanted to make changes but never could stick to anything! I guess I thought this surgery would transform my body & mind. Well, my mind is still my worst enemy. I know I am losing and I try to keep a sense of humor about everything but I get sick of the question..."How much have you lost??" I don't even want to talk about it! Does anybody else go through this?

So, anyone have an odd or surprising milestone they hit AFTER they became "a vet"? Mine is this: I went to the doc yesterday (for an eye infection), and I did not feel my gut clench when the nurse led me to the scale, I weighed in and did not make a comment about 'just having eaten/drank' to account for the weight, AND then realized that for the first time in my entire adult life, I did not consciously make sure to remember to pee before I went in to weigh! Yay!!! The number just is not so important now, and I felt the most lovely realization that I'm finally taking it for granted that my weight/number does not define me. Call me a Happy Camper. Now, what yours?

Hey there how are we all? Almost one month already gone of 2020! Its been a tough week only managed to drop just 4 lbs; my slowest week yet I believe Well I've been doing a bit of fasting the past few days. As of today I'm now 194lbs 😀😀😀 ============================== Should be picking up my new rowing machine this week and that should definitely help burn the fat off my belly area lol. Been buying new clothes and it feels great. I feel so happy and excited for the future and this surgery RNY BYPASS was the best choice ever!! Will be going to see my surgeon in a couple weeks for the 3 month post op checkup. Hopefully all my levels are good 😀 TAKE CARE. Mike.

I've been going to my weigh ins now for 3 months but I have an emergency and I have to leave the country for a while. I'm wondering if I can skip a weigh in. I haven't gotten a chance to speak to my doctor, but will i have to start from zero if i miss a weigh in. I think the secretary told me that it had to be consecutive or I would have to start over but I'm not sure

Hello Sleevers!!! My name is Mike. I was sleeved on 6/10/14. Currently down about 21 since surgery. Finally getting my energy back!!! I was always told NOT to weigh yourself everyday, as the body fluctuates quite a bit especially in the early stages after surgery. However, I just can't help myself from stepping on every morning LOL. I experienced a stall in my second week, but reassured myself it would pass (which it did). So this AM I weighed myself and I was up 1.8 from yesterday. I am not concerned, but just curious to see if other people have experienced this fluctuation and if anyone else shares this similar addiction . Please feel free to add me as a friend I am looking for newbies and experienced members!!!! Thanks so much! Mike

Its OFFICIAL! My scale at home is BROKE or my house is not LEVELED!
supersweet31 posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Ok I went to the surgeons office today for my regular check up and hopped on the scale. I'm down 8 pounds for the month. All this time, I'm beating myself about my weight not moving and this is the reason. I'm so relieved! I told the doc I live in a old traditional brick bungalow and he said maybe your floors aren't leveled. PROBABLY SO! So my advice to the new bandsters! Make sure your scale is accurate and your house is leveled. Lol -
Howdy to anyone and everyone out there! I have my own personal blog that I could post these fun things into, but right now, I like the anonymity that I have here from friends and family. While the vast majority of those I want to know, know( I do not plan on keeping it a secret for long after I have the surgery), there are things that I'd rather not put out just yet for all of my social media. Also, I ramble...a lot, just as warning. I hope to one day post all of the posts on my more public blog hopefully to help those that have questions or doubts about the surgery and what kind of process to expect(mentally, physically, spiritually and insurance-ly(?)). Case in point: most of today's post revolves around the steps I have thus far completed towards the insurance requirements. 1) I have completed my first supervised weigh in visit(or whatever it is called) and had gained a staggering 7 pounds since my consult with my surgeon. Holy balls. I refer to them as my 'pandemic pounds' and I vowed that every visit I had there on (with my pcp or other provider) I would not be heavier than my last visit...guys, that 7lbs put me at 347...my HIGHEST EVER WEIGHT. I was mortified. My highest before I had been at was a measly 320- and I'd been at that weight for YEARS. I digress. I got back onto the count-every-calorie-and-log-it train and I have slowly lost around 5-6 of those pounds. Which brings me to another point, if I count every.single.calorie.ever I will usually lose the weight, stop once or twice and get out of the habit of not tracking and BAM! all that weight back plus more. Ugh. I have upped my protein and water intakes drastically and I most admit, protein keeps me from being hungry and thinking about food all the damn time and I look forward to having the surgery that will go hand in hand with that as well as making it impossible to scarf down 4,000 calories in one sitting---done it, hated myself for it and have really started trying to tune into the brain and stomach signals when I'm full to stop and when I want the world to burn, to PUT DOWN THE ICE CREAM AMANDA and take a breather....it's a learning process, and while I'd LOVE to be able to get surgery tomorrow, I am happy for the 7 months of putting into place coping mechanisms as well as upping exercise(and by that, I mean finding things I like besides the long hikes I do in the winter). Step number 2: I have completed the psych evaluation, it was a 15 minute chat with a psychologist on Zoom or whatever telehealth platform they were using and then a 300 questionnaire that I have issues with--I hate the stupid things with vague, sometimes true and sometimes not true statements that you have to say you agree or disagree with. My paper says that the visit was supposed to also potentially discuss the results, but the guy told me once I'd turned them in he would write a report that goes to whoever needs it. I would like to know my results...guess I will call the bariatric department and make sure I'm not doing all this only to be denied in 6 months because of my evaluation-if that's the case, I've already decided I would find a place like Blossom or maybe Mexico to self pay. I digress. Step 3) Had to do a sleep study, had the consult with a nurse practitioner who decided since I have no major ongoing issues I could complete a home sleep study. Guys, it pretty much sucked balls(see pictures). Got that done, turned it back in and Thursday I have the results visit(I wish they could just tell me if I have sleep apnea or not--I will be kind of surprised if I do) AND weigh in #2 with my PCP! BTW guys, I can't stress this enough, if you don't have a PCP that you enjoy going to see and that will root for you, get you a different one. My PCP supports my decision to pursue bariatric surgery and I enjoy our conversations we have had thus far. Will be even happier if Thursday I am down a good 10ish pounds or so. Last item of business, I went to Michael's this past weekend (it was glorious!) and found this sweet box that I have come to refer to as my "You Got This!" box. My book with all my surgery info is in it, I also plan to write myself notes and put inspirational pictures in it(things I want to wear, places to go, things to do etc) to look through when all I really wanna do is eat 5 pounds of chocolate. I attached a picture if anyone is curious, I like having things like that. I should probably call it a night, it's already after 11pm and I have to be up for work here around 5am. Look for more of these hot mess blogs, they make me feel good putting it all (well, most) out there. -Amanda
