To weigh or not to wiegh?



Recommended Posts

Hi All Stars - Every morning for me. It helps motivate me. I wish I could only weigh in once a week .....

Funny, if I don't like the results, I try and move the scale a few inches in a different position on the floor, sometimes that works, it's all in the head....

OMG Gary I'm sooooo glad I'm not the only person who does that!! I usually move it around the bathroom floor and weigh myself a few times and then only accept the lowest displayed weight! Lol! :(

HAHAHA I do it too! Or weigh myself and come back a few minutes later and do it again and sometimes in that few minutes I lose 200grams :( Weird I know but hey I'll take it :)

I just realized I should get a metric scale! Saying you lost 2 pounds this week is ok - but saying 907 Grams! WHOA! Not to mention, most people around these parts wouldn't have a clue what value 907 grams was anyway!

Nonetheless... I too am a daily scale addict. It just helps me stay focused. I'm much more likely to adhere to healthy food choices by "fearing" the scale will tell on me tomorrow.

      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.
