When I first got banded I weighed myself everyday sometimes 2x's a day. Now I am down to just every couple of days.

I want to do it once a week, but I'm too tempted to know if I've lost anything so I am doing it every couple of days now.:bored:

Hey there,

I was weighing myself every day, then went to once a week and now every couple of weeks.

The reason for this was my weight wasnt coming off quickly enough and also would change a fair bit from day to day which was not good.

I was thinking, what am i doing wrong.

I then went to my doctor and he said it is definately not about the weight, it is more how your clothes are fitting and i have gone down nearly 2 sizes but this is not showing on my weight loss.

To date i have lost about 13 kilos and i was banded on 12/02/2010.

All in all, i can tell from my clothes, so try not to worry about the scales.

Good Luck,

Stacey.

I am obsessed with weighing myself. I do it at least 5 times a day. I need to stop!

I weigh every morning, before my shower and after my visit to the loo! (every little bit counts you know! :)) I find that this way if i have a bad day I can be extra good to keep weight in check. Also weighing yourself at same time everyday gives more accurate reading. Do any of you find that you put on weight just before that time of the month? :o

I have to do every few days (tuesdays and Fridays). If I weight myself daily, I go waaaay overboard, and would probably be starving myself.

My name is Julie and I am a scale addict :thumbup:

I weigh at least 5 times a day. When I get up, everytime I go to the bathroon, and before I go to bed. I really need to break up with my scale.< /span> :biggrin:

I step on the scale several times a day to see what it changing during the day and to try and see what type of errors my scale makes.

However, only my tuesday morning weigh-in in the same outfit goes into my weight log. I actually weigh six times and take the average to try and compensate for the scale measurement error.

Since this tuesday the scale says I gained 6 pounds... which has to be an error. So I just take it with a grain of salt and keep working to the next official weigh-in.

It's always nice to see a guy on the boards. They are definetly female heavy (so to speak). :wink2:

Just wanted to say congrats on your band, seeing as you are fairly newly banded. :biggrin:

      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.

      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.
