I weigh myself on the wii scale then I weighed myself with the surgeons scale. PCP doctor weighed me on his scale and grandbabies bought me a scale too. They all have different numbers? SMH

I always weigh first thing in the morning when I get up & go to the bathroom. I use our bathroom scale. I just always keep that in mind when I weigh at the doctor's office since I have more clothes on & may have eaten or whatever.

just stick with the same one every time you weigh to measure by. I use the wii. I have been weighing myself on it for 2 years now so it tracks it all for me....I can see the graph and everything. :)

I do the same thing... My drs. scale makes me 3 lbs heavier... I told him I like my scale better, he said it really doesn't make that big of a difference, as long as as I'm still showing a loss...

Yeah just find one scale and stick with it, or figure out the difference between the scales. My gym and surgeon office scales are 3 pounds off.

I had a follow up appointment with my surgeon. So after my appointment, I drove to Walmart and stepped on every scale until the weight matched my surgeons office and bought that one. Silly, I know. But I got tired of so many different numbers.

thanks every one i weigh myself in the morning at the same time every day. I do this after my shower. The difference is five pound between the doctors scale and the new and wii scale.

i will continue using the wii scale because it tracks for me

      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.
