is anyone NOT weighing themselves?



Recommended Posts

I weigh excessively because it helps to keep me on track. I've always been that way. If I quit doing it, then I'll go back to old habits or just say "oh my pants aren't tight - they shrunk" when in reality, they didn't. My waist expanded. LOL!

I keep my scale in my bathroom and every morning it comes out. I have the Weight Watchers scale that's glass and digital. LOVE that thing! It was like $25 at costco.

I weigh myself once a week. I'ts tempting some mornings but I have found I like the surprise each week. I would go crazy with flucuations if I weighed myself every day. However once I loose all my weight (42 pounds to get to goal) I plan on weighing myself everyday. If I see more then a 2-3 pound gain I know I need to reverse gears. Maybe go on liquids for 2-3 days.

Howdy! I only get weighed when I go for a fill or some other dr appt. I have been measuring my progress by how my clothes fit me and/or how my rings fit me. I do not have a working scale in the house b/c I know I would determine what kind of day I am going to have by the number on the scale. I know that I also have a tendency to think..."Hey! I've lost ___lbs so it will be ok for me to eat that hot fudge sundae that has been taunting me unmercifully!"

since i bought my scale, i've been weighing myself everyday looking for lower numbers. it's like some said... like an obsession of sorts. i wanna see a lower number every morning and sometimes i do and it's great. sometimes i don't and it's a little disappointing but i try not to let it get me down. what i need to do is stop weighing and start exercising. i'm being a little slow about starting on that. i need to get moving!!!!! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
