which is the true weight



Recommended Posts

When I weigh myself in the morning no clothes no fluids it differs by almost 3 lbs mid day because of fluids and food. So which weight do I go by. Morning or during the day?

Morning!

The one you can be consistent with.

Generally, this will be when you first awaken, buck naked, after the restroom, before eating or drinking. This will be your best comparison of weight from yesterday to today.

That said, your best measure of health is body fat percentage. Body weight and its obsession will lead to bad health decisions.

Your weight is your weight. Water weighs 4.1lb per half gallon.

They are both correct your body weight just fluctuates normally. You should use whichever one you want and just stick with the same one all the time.

The morning for me. I know that I don't have a difference due to clothes, Water or food. For me it is the most consistent.

I too am a morning weigher, after BM, before eating or drinking, getting dressed or showering (it's weird how much weight a shower can add to you, like Water and a sponge :P)

      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.
