Do you get on the scales a lot?



Recommended Posts

I just read that over-exercising and weighing oneself frequently are common "transferred addictions." One of OPRAH's gastric surgery guests last week had become an alcoholic.

The REALIZE band program includes online support to help with diet, exercise, goal-setting, AND emotions.

Speaking of OPRAH, yesterday's was "Does this CLUTTER make my butt look FAT?" Great show!

I have to admit that since I have been banded I have become obsessed with weighing myself. I was just weighing myself every morning to see how what I ate the day before effected my weight but now I get on the scale everytime I walk by it.

I try to weigh myself once a week, but a lot of the time I end up weighing every morning. Sometimes I weigh myself in the morning to put my mind in the right place to start my day. Once, I thought my scale was broken (it just needed a new battery). I felt more at ease NOT knowing. I try to see my surgeon once a month and I thought I would just weigh once a month there, but that didn't last! So I guess I fluctuate sometimes every morning sometimes once a week. scales ARE EVIL!!!...LOL

I must admit that at first I was addicted to the scale as well. I was getting on it every day. My husband told me he was going to hide it from me. So I have been better and have now been doing it every other day or so. :0

I weigh every day. At my last visit my doctor fussed and me and told me to stop doing that immediately, that once a week was more than enough. I can't stop. I still do it every morning. If if goes up a couple pounds, I eat less that day and exercise harder. That way I feel like I am in control. I know my doctor is going to have a fit. I see him again today.

I weigh myself every day and always have. I can get a little obsessed with the scale! It just seems to keep me on track. I see my surgeon for the first time on Tuesday. I will ask him about it.

I just recently tossed my scale out. I found I was stressing myself out pre op trying to lose what my surgeon said. Now that I don't have it and I have to just pay attention to the food I have lost 6 pounds.

      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.

      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.
