I love weighing everyday but I do not obsess about the numbers though.

My daughter says I am not obsessed I am dedicated....lol.

I weigh myself daily and record the.numbers. If they arent going down I know right away to change something up. Tjis has kept me from stalling any longer than 4 days.

I learned a long time ago that if I don't weigh everyday I get way to lax in my eating. I have kept it to once a day.

Just be careful the way you think about the numbers you are looking at by constantly weighing yourself. When it doesn't change the way you want it to we tend to seek out ways to comfort ourselves, and I know for me it was food. My wife and I are diligent to only weigh in once a week. It can be hard but this new lifestyle is all about discipline, and in more than one area.

I weight my self once a week. I think I will threw away the scale & only weight my self when I see the dietician or surgeon. Lolz I'll take the scale to the basement. I hate stalls & it just makes me mad so why put my self threw that.

This is so so true! We (or I) do seek gratification daily.. I do weigh everyday and need to quit!! I am 12 weeks out and the weight loss has slowed down. At the beginning I was seeing almost a pound a day. Now when the scale doesn't move I wonder what I did wrong. I really need to change the way I think! My weight loss had to slow down, so I need to just weigh once a week and be good with that!

Its a mind over matter way of thinking! And the scale can cause great frustration!

I guess because I'm still so new at this, I want to see the numbers every day... I feel like I'm not losing fast enough.... I don't want to start putting that pressure on myself...

There is nothing wrong with weighing every day. I weigh just about every time I go in the bathroom. But I am not stressed about losing or not because I know as long as I follow the rules the weight will come off.

I agree with worm. I weigh daily every morning as soon as I get up for consistency. It helps keep me focused on my goals. Also lets me know if something is going on and I need to change things up. Once I went out of town for a week and when I came back I was 4 pounds heavier! Not sure how that happened but I know as long as Im weighing, Im losing weight.

You won't see bigger numbers till you eat more calories and definitely 64+ ounces of Fluid a day

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
