Yep! I am weighing everyday! I hate to admit it but I do. First thing every morning. I don't want to weigh at night because I weigh more then. I was stuck at the 13 lb loss from my 1 week post op, then I'd go up a pound down 1 up 2 down 1 then down another then up 1 so on and so on. Very frustrating when only having about a 1000 calories a day. I have posted this on another thread here somewhere, but I was reading on the main thread that if you are eating less than 1200 calories a day your body stores everything. I have uped my calories and have watched the scale go down 2 days in a row. I am hoping I am on to something!

That idea seems crazy but also true...I may have to try it. I am eating about 800 a day and I'll find out monday how thats going...I feel like I'm not losing but who knows!!

I stopped weighing as often (every few days now) because the scale isn't moving. However, yesterday I re-measured everything and I've lost 3.5 inches in the last few weeks. So yay there! Don't forget, there's more than just a scale to measure progress :)

It is all I can do not to run into the exercise center at work and jump on the scale every morning I walk into the building. I think sometimes I hear it calling my name :)

I too went to my mom's house to weigh myself. and decided that I would wait until today (1 wk p/o visit) to see what my progress is.

I was actually told to get a scale and a full length mirror (I don't have one:blink:) And weigh myself every thursday. They said as vain as that sounds, it actually helps in the long run b/c you are your own worst critic, and it's motivating... ummm, I guess :)??????

So for this weekend, I will get the scale. And I'm going to be gym hunting in the next 2 weeks, as well as Getting some really comfy sneakers next week..... Takin it a step at a time/

This is why I didn't want to weigh myself heaps lol. I didn't wanna be a scale whore - In having said that I said to myself I would only weigh myself twice a month and that's all I've done - I measure myself once a month as well (did it today) and even if I haven't lost any I've definitely lost the inches, it's great.

I've lost 6cms on my hips. 6cm on my waist & 1.6cm on my chest lol. To me the kgs don't matter as long as I see that the inches/centimetres are going down =)

It's funny, I have been at goal now for a number of months, but i still weight myself every few days to make sure T STAY there!

There was a period, though, when I was a little obsessive about it, but I got over tha pretty quickly. With RNY, the weight rolls off pretty fast and reliably so i just got used to the idea that this was working, so I stopped obsessing!

I have always had this problem. I weigh at least twice a day. It keeps me on track for the day.

i was banded 6/09/09 so i'm3 days post op. couldn't wait to weigh myself because my husband lost 2 and 3 lbs daily he is 3 weeks post op. i actually gained 4lbs following doctors orders. so i'm staying off the scale before i get depressed

      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.
