Do you have a scale?



Recommended Posts

I have a working scale now. I have a bit of an obsession with weighing myself. I know my weight from the morning before, I weigh myself in the middle of the night, and then I weigh myself in the morning again. Weighing myself in the middle of the night gives me a mental boost for how the morning weigh-in will be. It is silly, but that's me right now.

Hope this helps.

I have a health o meter scale that weighs to 380. Bought it at Walmart. It measures in .2 lb increments and is consistent which I like. I used to be scale obsessed and weigh every day but since around Christmas, I've only been weighing in on Fridays. There are so many other things that measure success besides the numbers on a scale!!!!

I have a health-o-meter scales that weighs up to 400lbs and it's pretty accurate in comparison to my doctor's scale. My only problem is that it's not digital, so while I was walking around big lots yesterday I saw a digital scale for $14. It weighs up to 396lbs. I was skeptical and still holding on to my receipt. But it was accurate as well, so we'll see how it goes. I have 30 days to take it back.

I have NEVER owned a scale for OBVIOUS reasons...not even with my lapband did I get one- I would wait and weigh in at my doc's office. Now with the sleeve and the weight loss being what I am hopeing is much more drastic/dramatic I feel like I should consider buying one BUT I dont want to gain another obsession... any suggestions??

I plan to throw mine out after surgery

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
