That Scale is the Devil! >_<



Recommended Posts

So I've been using the scale thats non digital' date=' you know the one that goes around lol, and I've never been too sure that it was 100% accurate but I was going by it anyway...so yesterday I weighed myself and it was 259....so I was so happy because I thought I was losing because at my 2 week post op check up I weighed 271...well today I got on a digital scale and it read out 265.2 and I weighed myself five times...so that means in 5 weeks I've lost 29 pounds....So guys what was your average weight loss by the 5th week? I know everyone is different and Im not comparing just wondering if Im average or below...and don't get me wrong Im happy for each and every one of those pounds that I've lost because theres no way in h*ll I would have been able to lose it on my own! I also know that this is only the beginning and if I continue to utilize my tool correctly I will be satisfied with my results and I have to be patient but that damn scale lol Im putting it away because it has taken over my life![/quote']

Don't weigh every day. Try once a week. We have Water weight and also Constipation can affect your weight loss as well. I was weighing everyday and it will drive you insane. Lol

I lost no weight on a one-month pre-opliquid diet. All of my weight loss started two weeks after surgery.

      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.
