Changing my approach



Recommended Posts

I have had enough of being in plateau mode, so I am going to change my mode of attack!

I have been using the weight the surgeon's office has measured me at, but because I am not seeing them for another 7 weeks and I like to know my weight (OK call me anal!) I am going to weigh myself from home.

I have decided that each saturday morning, when I get naked and haven't had Breakfast, I am going to weigh myself. Then it will be consistent (at least it sounds good - might not work in my favour thour!) and monitor it from there. When I was weighed at the surgeon's office, it was always in the afternoon and always fully clothed!

So, here's my last plateau post, the next one here will be my new weight which indicates a 1.2kg loss! I love it already!

Now this a complete fluke, but I have just realised, that I have broken through the 1/2 way barrier! Wahoo.:biggrin2:

That's awesome! I'm 4.5 pounds away, myself.

I weigh myself every day. It helps me stay on track. So far I'm not getting obsessive about it. If I do, then I'll cut back. :P

Ha...I don't know if my new digital scales are working properly but last night before bed I weighed in and it was my lowest yet 83.7kg. Then this morning I weighed again (same pj's) and I weighed in at 84.4kg.

I think I am just frustrating myself! :confused_smile:

I weigh myself nearly every day before I get dressed. I only count as "official", the weekly weigh in at Curves. I go every Friday or Saturday morning before I eat anything and weigh on their scale. It keeps me honest. I have a tendency to look at my scale and say "oh well" if it doesn't say what I want. I write the Curves weight in my book and keep track.

      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?
