When I first got banded I weighed myself everyday sometimes 2x's a day. Now I am down to just every couple of days.

I want to do it once a week, but I'm too tempted to know if I've lost anything so I am doing it every couple of days now.:bored:

Hey there,

I was weighing myself every day, then went to once a week and now every couple of weeks.

The reason for this was my weight wasnt coming off quickly enough and also would change a fair bit from day to day which was not good.

I was thinking, what am i doing wrong.

I then went to my doctor and he said it is definately not about the weight, it is more how your clothes are fitting and i have gone down nearly 2 sizes but this is not showing on my weight loss.

To date i have lost about 13 kilos and i was banded on 12/02/2010.

All in all, i can tell from my clothes, so try not to worry about the scales.

Good Luck,

Stacey.

I am obsessed with weighing myself. I do it at least 5 times a day. I need to stop!

I weigh every morning, before my shower and after my visit to the loo! (every little bit counts you know! :)) I find that this way if i have a bad day I can be extra good to keep weight in check. Also weighing yourself at same time everyday gives more accurate reading. Do any of you find that you put on weight just before that time of the month? :o

I have to do every few days (tuesdays and Fridays). If I weight myself daily, I go waaaay overboard, and would probably be starving myself.

My name is Julie and I am a scale addict :thumbup:

I weigh at least 5 times a day. When I get up, everytime I go to the bathroon, and before I go to bed. I really need to break up with my scale.< /span> :biggrin:

I step on the scale several times a day to see what it changing during the day and to try and see what type of errors my scale makes.

However, only my tuesday morning weigh-in in the same outfit goes into my weight log. I actually weigh six times and take the average to try and compensate for the scale measurement error.

Since this tuesday the scale says I gained 6 pounds... which has to be an error. So I just take it with a grain of salt and keep working to the next official weigh-in.

It's always nice to see a guy on the boards. They are definetly female heavy (so to speak). :wink2:

Just wanted to say congrats on your band, seeing as you are fairly newly banded. :biggrin:

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
