Anyone NOT own a scale?



Recommended Posts

The type of scale that you weigh yourself on, not a food scale. I threw mine out long ago. With PCOS, it got to be too frustrating to eat right, exercise, hop on the scale and see that it did not move.

Just curious if anyone else who is banded has gotten rid of their bathroom scale.

I don't have one and have been on the fence about getting a new one. I like the idea of participating in Friday weigh ins etc. BUT for me it's a lot easier to not check the scale I'm afraid it will discourage me too much. so for now I'm just going to judge by the way my clothes fit.

Hi,

Hey, but you HAVE lost the recommended amount of weight. You've lost between 1 -2 pounds per week, and closer to the 2 pounds. Congratulations!! And the best part of it is that those pounds are gone forever!! Keep up the good work.

ME!! ME!! I don't own a scale and don't intend to buy one either. Why torture myself with minimal losses (THANKS PCOS!)?

I want to set myself up for success, not failure. I will weigh in at the doctor office, once a month...and that is plenty. :girl_hug:

GOOD LUCK CYSTER!!

I don't have one either. I work in a hospital and My PCP is right upstairs, so every Monday I go weigh on the same scale. I love it...

No, no scale but my partner owns one! lol. Every once in a while he does the weight loss thing and uses the scale, but that's pretty much it.

I don't have one. Whenever I am on a diet, I weigh at work. I'm a teacher, and there's a scale in the office bathroom. It's the kind where you move the little bars, so I feel that it is pretty acurate. I can't handle having one at home.

      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.
