*&^%$@* Scale is broken ...



Recommended Posts

So this morning I weighed m'self. It is my monday ritual. I had to do a double and triple take of the numbers ... 238!! I was like HOLY SHIT RIGHT ON!! ... Then I just had to go and step on it again ... just to "make sure" ... right back to where it was last monday ... no change no nothing ...

its broken ... I wanted to throw it out the window ... maybe it just needs new batteries .. yeah yeah that is why it wont move .. batteries are dyin ... yeah yeah thats it ....

Gonna throw it out the window anyways... just to make me feel better .. only wish I lived in a multi story house .. Don't think much will happen to it as I live in a single story house ...

damned scale

Can you picture the shrine or modern art we could create with all of our broken, and discarded scales!!!

Trying to decide where the perfect spot for the art would be!!!

Think of it as a blessing is disguise. scales are probably one of our worst enemies.

When I use mine, I have to weigh 3 times, disregard the first number, and average the last two. The first time will always weigh me about 8 lbs over, or 8 lbs under. I guess it needs to warm up first or something. The next two weights are normally within 2 lbs of each other, and usually get me within 2 lbs of the doctor's scale.

Mine is the same everytime, but one time, my sister weighed herself..

She's a little bigger than me, but only because of height (she's shorter).

She got on the scale and it said like 180, and I said no friggin way and she's all dancing around the room. She gets back on and it's 220lb (which was right). I still don't know what caused it that day, I wonder if a cat toy got under it or something.

Stupid scales, they really do suck when it's not encouraging. Mine has been my best friend for months, and the past 2 weeks I really resent it.

My scale is always 2lb higher than my doc's scale.

      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.
