Had my surgery Jan 14 , feel pretty good . Very tired . Is anyone burping a lot?

I was wondering how often everyone weighs themselves after surgery. I don't want to be scale obsessed but I know I will be curious to know my weight ... but I also do not want to get discouraged by checking my weight too much!

This ... except the scale can sometime go up after a week, it it is still ok!
The key is having perspective. Over the long term you will lose weight. But in the short term, you cannot expect to lose weight every single day. If you can except that, then weigh as often as you'd like.

I weigh once a week, on the same scale, wearing the same shoes, similar clothes, at the same time...etc... I work in a gym, so we have a nice scale, and I weigh-in every Monday before I eat Breakfast. I have weighed daily before, and it just messed with my head too much.

At my three month post op, my surgeon made me promise to weigh only once a MONTH. I am a bit scale obsessed and maybe that's why. His logic was that we get overconfident and can justify overeating when we see the weight coming off...or we can get too frustrated when we don't see the numbers we want. It makes sense to me. He said concentrate on the process and follow the rules, and weigh once a month. Now the sad part? I had to have the hubby literally hide the scale. Lol! I've been annoyed these first few days ...but I'm starting to like it!

Hi all! I just got my official time for 6:45am on Monday, January 14. Anyone else going to be my surgery twin?
Also, any ideas on what to bring to the hospital would be great! My surgeon told me to expect to be staying overnight. Thanks!

With the exception of the first month, where I'd weight 2 or 3 times/week, I weigh myself weekly.

i ty[ically weigh daily.. just to see where its going but i officially weigh once a week. i have gotten better and do a few times a week instead of daily. my goal is to only weigh weekly.

I weigh once a week

I weight everyday because I have no self-control...I'm trying to get better Ideally, I would weigh once a week on the same day/time upon waking up.

My surgeon and the support program wanted me to weigh every day...I was provided a wifi scales for which weight would load (by bluetooth) to an app that their office has access to. I don't weigh officially everyday and only weigh on the wifi scales once a week. I weigh on my own everyday, I don't let myself become upset with the daily ups and downs, its a fact that even when we are losing weight there will be days when the scales are up due to many things such as hormones, dehydration/rehydration, Fluid retention, inflammation, Constipation etc. As long as the weekly trend is downwards or even the same (there are stalls sometimes) its all good as far as I am concerned.
I always weigh myself on waking up after going to the toilet.

Well well well, please try not to wear Bradley J out too badly, Tuesday morning at 11:30 am I have an appointment with him. He and Dr Noria are both wonderful, I will see her the 25th for another endoscopy. See it really is a small 🌎after all. And they both have been great to know!

I was born in Newark 73 years ago, when it was Newark City Hospital, I was the longest baby on record, 25 inches long but I was only 7 pounds 12 oz. I must have looked like a mini- basketball player with red-gold curls all over my head. So it is a small world after all. My parents lived on 8th Street back when it was working class white. Still can find my way around town if need be.
So where are you having your RnY surgery? I had mine last September 5th at OSU in Columbus and I now live in Mount Vernon, but most of my Daddy's people are still in Licking County.
Hey don't be 😟 worried, you will be fine, and even if you have problems talk with me, I have broad shoulders and I love helping others. So smile, believe in yourself and you will do very good. I promise!!👈😝👉

And just like I learned for myself, No Protein Shake is worth choking when you taste it or vomiting. There are other ways of getting Protein in.

Here are some of my tips/observations from my surgery. I had GB on Nov 12, 2018.
1) Accept and treasure the pain medication. It's not a weakness to take the meds. If they end up making you a little nauseous don't give up, ask for some nausea meds to help balance it. The first 24-hours they will probably give you morphine and then after that a liquid hydrocodone. There is no reason for you to be in pain.
2) Walk as soon as you can (this is where the pain meds help). Walk the halls, walk around the room, move as much as you can.
3) For the first few weeks after your surgery, don't trust a fart, or rather trust that it will probably be accompanied by a little liquid. It's not a big deal and nothing drastic, just know that things happen.
4) The 3-4 days you are in the hospital after your surgery will fly by and you'll be home before you know it. I brought books, work, crosswords...didn't touch one of them the entire time I was in. I walked, slept, sat in a chair, played a game or two on my tablet, and gave a pool's worth of blood samples.< /span>
5) Last thing would be don't stress little pains. Pay attention to the things your doctor stresses like bloating in the belly, swelling in the legs, etc... But the minor pains and aches could just be part of the healing process and you won't really know what is what until you are a few weeks out and your body has healed some.
