1. Must be first thing in the morning.

2. Must pee prior to weighing (poo-ing is jackpot bonus).

3. Remove all clothes, ponytails, jewelry.Cut fingernails if necessary.

4. Five jumping jacks here can't hurt.

5. Tip-toe lightly onto scale as this prevents a potentially upsetting overshooting of your actual weight.

6. Holding your finger against the wall, purely for balance is acceptable.

7. Exhale all air as you step onto scale as air might weigh something.

8. If things don't seem right, weigh yourself three more times to make sure your scale is working. Unless you are down then don't touch that scale again!

LOL!

Have you been watching me??

You forgot:

Move the scale around the bathroom floor and weigh in different areas until you're satisfied with the CORRECT weight.

That is just how I weigh, you must have a camera in my bathroom, you will see some sights there!

LOL. Love this post, and OMG- I have never thought to completely exhale. I am certain when I try this I might be a few pounds lighter!!

Thanks for the laugh! Yup, this describes my routine perfectly! Oh, and I'd add looking forward to the scale the morning after a haircut!

Haha Exactly my every day routine. I try not to weight myself every day, but is really hard not to. Thanks for posting this.

Also try positioning your feet in different locations and shift your body weight until it reads a little lower.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
