Hello everyone,

I would like to know what you do! When i go the the doctor, i'm clothed and always weigh about 3 to 4 lbs more than i do naked at home! I have decided to save myself the disappointment and just weigh myself fully clothed (without shoes of course).

What does everyone else do?

i weigh with and without clothes, and on doc appt day, i make note of the weight with clothes and compare my home scales to the doc scales. doc's office is always a few lbs heavier than mine...so i like mine better. by the time i get nekkid, i am ten lbs lighter than the doc's scales...lol..not really, but usually about 5-6 lbs difference on doc scales with clothes vs. my scales no clothes

I weigh myself naked at home at the same time each day and preferably the same day once a week (at most). If I notice a gain of a pound or so at "that time of the month", I disregard that and don't weigh myself until after my cycle has finished. I don't like to set myself up for disappointment if it can possibly be helped and I stay realistic. A woman's body often retains Water at different times during the month and a fluctuation during the month isn't unusual.

When I weigh for the doctor, I completely disregard his/her reading because the one at home is the one I weigh on consistently and that's the one I go by. My scale is digital and calibrates with each use so I feel it's fairly accurate. Also, for some strange reason my doctor keeps his scale on carpet which can make a scale inaccurate.

Naked, after I go to the bathroom, every morning.

My gyno is o.k. with not weighing - patients have a choice - and I like that - I'm less likely to postpone my checkuup or a visit when I don't have to get weighed.

Jack, I tell you what, you always make my day when I read your posts. I usually get a kick out of them and if not a kick, I love have smart and knowledgable you are.

I weight myself naked as naked can be. I had my monthly appointment with my surgeon this week. At home, I weigh naked and first thing in the morning. At his office I was fully clothed and it was mid afternoon and I had ate twice. His scale showed 3 pounds more than mine. I'll stick with what my scale says.

i weigh myself before and after going to the bathroom, before and after I eat and dressed and undressed.

I've bought more scales that most people own in a lifetime. Sometimes I even take the scale on vacation with me. No scale = eating out of control and big weight gain. This of course will change once I am banded in 8 DAYS.

:hail: :funscale:

Terisita,

Everything is more visisble and appears to be getting bigger in some places and it seems to be getting a good reception from all...

I am looking at the calendar figuring when I should go and get my next fill. Maybe to the states in 3 weeks...If I do not lose 2 more pounds by the end of next week I will go the first week in October....

Butt nekkid after my morning tinkle, and ideally about 2 hours after waking up (but most of the time we're already out of the house w/in 2 hours of waking up). For some reason in the first two hours that I'm awake, I can weigh up to 4 lbs less than when I first woke up.

      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.
