I Love weighing myself.

Is there some danger in having "too much" good news?

I weigh twice a day. Dr. Davidson says to weigh every morning to keep an eye on what we are doing. He says it's better to nip it in the bud if we find ourselves up two or three lbs. I weigh at night, just for fun. It's a game I play, I guess what I'll weigh the next morning. I've been weighing like this since June 2010!!! Avoiding the scaless all those years, except when at the doctor's office and you have NO choice.....I think is easier to be in denial!!!!

I weigh myself daily in the morning. I have heard that it is both bad and good, I guess it depends on how you take the numbers. For me, I am curious as to what my body is doing. Also, I like to keep on top of my weight, because for so many years, I rarely stepped on a scale. So I do not obsess over the number just like to see it go down.

Very interesting article, thanks for posting.

      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.
