common dilema :(

some people have hubby or someone else "hide" the scale ;)

once a week retrieve the scale and weigh yourself :unsure:

don't leave the scale in an "open" area where you would constantly pass it :blink:

temptation is right there for you for to check your weight :wacko:

don't do it!!!! :angry:

good luck :)

Good choice! That reading will drive you crazy. Once a week is plenty while you're losing. I weigh about every day now that I'm in maintenance, but I expect to see the same thing every day. Now it's a good thing.

I weighed every single day when I was in my weight loss phase. I began to see that number as a piece of data that goes into the overall puzzle of my health and well being. 'how you're doing' can be measured by much more than the scale. And for me, I looked more at the trend line. If that trend was still going down, I was doing fine. My loss was slow... I had a lot of days where I saw the same number for weeks.

If it's driving you crazy though, I suggest putting your scale in a spot that's inconvenient to just hop on in the morning. The garage, the back porch. I kept mine in the trunk of my car at one point. I knew I wasn't going out there at 7am to get my scale to get on it.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
