Once a week, first thing Monday morning. And if I forget, I wait until the following Monday morning. I've been a slave to the scale in the past, letting the number it shows dictate whether I was happy or sad, and the hell with that. :cursing: Once a week is plenty for me.

My surgery day was a Tuesday, so I weigh myself on Tuesdays. Tomorrow is a big weigh in for me, as tomorrow is one month since I was banded. At the three week mark I had lost 28 pounds so we'll see what a month brings.

I weigh myself every morning before I get in the shower because it helps to keep me on track for the day. If I think that I haven't lost anything for a while or that I'm off track, it helps to keep me on. If I have lost anything, it's a great motivator to stay on track.

I even have a scale at work but that one measures body fat, etc. So, sometimes in the afternoon I'll hop on it, too. I know - I'm bad. A total scale freak.

I just want to see ONE-DERLAND so bad one of these days. I just know it will happen. It has to, right? :thumbup:

I also weigh myself everyday - right after my shower. I know I shouldn't.

Okay, even though my ticker thing says my starting weigh was 140 kilos; I guessed that and I put down 5 kilos lost on my ticky thingy as a guess as well.

I asked the dr not to tell me what I weighed when I first met him; then I did the same at the hospital.

Tomorrow I go in for my two week post op meeting and am in two minds as to whether I want to find out how much I've lost since starting Optifast (26th August) to now two weeks post op.

If I haven't lost that much I may just fall apart...so maybe it's better to not know for now.

      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.
