UH HUH you guessed it, it's me ok. lol I have a question and then I have a comment about the question. So here goes.

When you gals weigh yourselves do you do it with or without your clothes on? Did you know that if you weight with you clothes on (even night clothes) you can add atleast 2 pounds to what the scales tell you? That's right, you can.

I just weighed myself a couple minutes ago both ways. First with a nightgown and night pants on, scales said 256,

I took everything I had off and weighed again and it said 254. I like the naked answer much much better.

So the question is, which is the proper way to weigh? Clothed or naked?

in the morning after i pee and naked

OH BOY gilliebean, I had a sip of hot tea with apple cider in my mouth when I read your reply. when I read pee, I just about spit out my drink. Not sure why, but that was funny. Maybe just cause I am in a good mood.

I weighed myself and saw it said ten pounds, I ran back into my room got my cell phone, weighed again and took a picture of it saying 254 and sent it to my husband. lol:w00t:

I also weigh in the morning, after I pee, and ditch my clothes. Even a night shirt and panties make a difference. I weigh every day so I can adjust my eating if I bounce up some. At the surgeon's office it is usually late in the day, after having eaten Breakfast and lunch, fully clothed with sneakers on. I am usually 7 pounds heavier in his office. I go by what I weigh at home when I tell someone how much weight I have lost.:rolleyes:

I weight myself with no clothes in the morning. I notice that I am at the same weight that way as at the doctors with clothes. So my scale adds a pound or two. I heard that from my friends as well when they use my scale.

It really doesn't matter what you are wearing when you weigh, but you do need to keep it consistent. You should really only be concentrating on the CHANGE in your weight so if you always weigh in your undies then you shouldn't weigh one day with your clothes on. I agree, I wait until I pee first!

In the morning, after completely "unloading", nekked.:rolleyes: When I go to the doctor (tomorrow for my 3rd fill) I wear light clothing and remove the shoes. My sneakers add 2 lbs alone. My scale is calibrated to the one at the doctors office.

In the morning after I pee, poop (if I'm lucky), no jewlery, no clothes, nothing that might possibly add a pound or two!!!

I agree that you need to be consistent with what you wear )or don't wear) and try to weigh at the same time of day.

In the morning after I use the potty and in my jammies :smile2:

I agree with lanakila, it really doesn't matter as long as you are consistent.

      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.
