How often did you weigh yourself on pre-op diet?



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! :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
