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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
