To weigh or not to weigh....that is the question!



Recommended Posts

I'm a recovering scale addict. I only allow myself once a month... it just makes me crazy if I do it daily, or even weekly. I wish I was one of those who can think logicvally around this issue.... some days its up.... some days its down.... but I'm just not. I let that number rule my world so about 2 months ago I went cold turkey... some days I white knuckle it...force myself to stay away from the scale at the gym... I had to take the batteries out of my home scale. All in all I think I'm saner on a day to day basis without it.

I weigh myself every morning on the WII. It tracks everything and it is amazing to see how often it changes even when you didn't expect it to!

I weigh myself with the Wii also. Is it in sync with your/doctors scale?

Thanks,

Janice

It is pretty close. I weigh myself in the morning after I shower and use the restroom. I am just in my underwear so very little to throw the weight off....LOL.

Usually doctors is in the afternoon and we all know there is a difference if the timing is off so I just deal with the few pounds.

I weigh myself daily. You have to be comfortable with the idea of maybe gaining a pound for a day or two once in a while though (due to Water retention or constipation). If you are not, maybe you're better off doing it every couple of days.

Someone here mentioned she weighs every day and writes it down once a week on the same day. That sounded like a good plan to me. A little balance to level out the crazy! I thought I might try that after I get the sleeve.

      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?
