Don't Weigh Myself?!?!?!?!?!



Recommended Posts

Thanks guys!! All the feedback is tremendous! I hid my scale and I'm going to weigh myself every Tuesday. I don't think that it necessary to weigh myself everyday if I know I'm following my diet correctly. We will see what Tuesday has to say!

Good for you. I know how much our weight can fluctuate daily, so once a week is a great idea. I go in for my info meeting on Tuesday and I'm anxious! I want to look as good as I feel! Although, die to my weight gain, I don't feel as good as I used to!

Hi! I was banded on 25th July also and so far I have lost 5kgs which is about 11-12 lbs I think?

I am a compulsive weigher... Every morning, after peeing. I weigh myself three times to make sure i get an accurate reading (im a scientist). I am utterly miserable all day if I haven't lost anything.

I'm not looking forward to anyone telling me not to weigh myself each day :( I'm a bit OCD so giving this up will be hard.

I had my surgery on July 23, been following the post op diet and tracking everything that went into my mouth, but I have gained a pound since surgery. I am starting to get frustrated because I didn't get surgery to maintain my weight. I am walking and geting 100 grams of Protein a day and sore as hell, but still no weight loss. When will the weight loss start??? I did lose 16 lbs prior to surgery during the pre-op liquid diet. Maybe I need to give up mushy and go back to just liquid? ?? Help.

Banded on 7/23, I have not weighed myself once. I haven't actually weighed myself in years, because the numbers were scary. I choose not to do it now, because I don't actually know how much weight I have lost post-op. When I went in for my first week post-op check, I had lost 28 pounds since the 16th of July, but I am unsure how much of that was from the pre-op diet, and how much was after surgery.

I'm also a daily weigh-er...every day after I wake up and pee..I'm working nightshift right now, so that can mean in the afternoon or in the morning...that being said, I don't give myself a hard time if I'm up or down by a couple of pounds, as I realize this is normal...It's just my way of remaining accountable for what I put in my mouth...

      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?
