I don't own a scale!



Recommended Posts

I'm very pleased with my progress so far. I was sleeved 10/7/2013 and I'm now 2 months out went from a size 22 to 16! I last weighed on my visit to the doctor 11/20/13. I have a scale at home but it doesn't work. I want to know what my current weight is but I'll have too wait. The reason I hadn't brought one is cause I don't want abuse it.

Probably smart not to own a scale..I have one and I know the last time I lost weight I was a slave to the scale..every pound lost or gained became a huge thing..wait till your check ups with your doctors..let your clothes be a guide.

That's the exact reasons I don't want one in my home right now.

i don't own one and i'm so happy that i don't. every time i go to the doctor i'm worried i'm not going to lose as much as i did the month before, but i'm always happy when i lose more! i'm glad i don't have one at home because i would be obsessive, plus i trust the doctors scale more than a home one. one time i weighed myself the week after a drs appt at my friends and it said i GAINED two pounds. i went to the dr the next day and i had actually lost 5 that week. better consistency using the same scale!

At first flowing my surgery I weighed myself daily. Then I gradually started weighing in once a week or so. I like watching the numbers go down. It makes me feel proud to be getting smaller. I have worked hard to see it.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
