Recommended Posts

I know better then to do it everyday, but I wanna make sure I'm getting results!

How often do you weigh yourselves and what time ?(morning before anything, middle of the day?)

Almost every morning - naked, after my "business" and before I eat or drink anything! This is NOT a good idea when you are having "monthly gain!" I need to weight less often and I would be less wacked out about little Water gains. I weighed close to every day pre-op, too . . . I was actually losing faster then . . . alas . . but I had a lot more to lose then, too! Best of luck!!

i'm only weighing myself once a week. otherwise, i don't want to be a slave to the scale, you know? i have also been warned that i may gain when i go back on solid foods (metabolism and such) so i do not want to get too set on the loss.

I am almost embarrassed to type this. I am a slave to the scale. I do weigh myself every morning 1st thing after potty, before drinking breakfast! LOL!!! But, I also, weigh myself EVERY time I go into the bathroom where the scale is. And I mean EVERY time. Why I do this, I don't know, but I do know I am addicted to the scale. :rolleyes:

yeah weighing everyday takes a toll on you emotionally, and I just can't take the dissapointment! once a week or even every few days at least you know where you stand and can see your progress.

weighed today -2lbs :)

During the pre-op diet -- once a week

After banding -- every single day, and when the scale didn't show what I wanted/expected, I bought a new scale.< /p>

Then I decided I was being too obsessive even for me. Now I step on the scale once a month when I go in for my check-up and that is all. In between I go only on "how good a day did I have today with food & exercise" and "how do my pants fit this time."

Opps! Count me in for this program, too!

Drives my husband crazy, and, quite frankly, accomplishes NOTHING but making me feel bad.

Don't know why I still do it! :)

      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?
