The lowest of course =)

Seriously though, what you are tracking is a pattern over time. Minor differences won't make or break you. Stand on it once, once a week and you're good to go.

@@rriggins

as @@jess9395 said "lowest of course" :D

what a wise guy :D

welllll.....

i am one of THOSE that does weigh every morning :huh:

i step on the scale, don't look down (as to accidentally move the scale)

count to 10, then 10 again

look down - thats the #

no need to weigh again, even if you don't like that # ;)

keep up the good work :)

28 lbs down!!!

kathy

I weigh myself twice to double check - not sure exactly why. If I get different numbers I do it again until I get 2 that are the same. We have a twitchy scale too. Most of the time it's fine but once in a while ...

Lol, I have one scale that weighs exactly the same each time I step on it and one that likes to bounce around a few ounces. The way I stopped driving myself crazy on the twitchy scale was to only weigh myself once and whatever the first number was is the one I keep for the day.

I like that because if the first reading was right than that would mean that I have lost a total of 20 pds post op....I was sleeved July 1st

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
