Don't Weigh Myself?!?!?!?!?!



Recommended Posts

Thanks guys!! All the feedback is tremendous! I hid my scale and I'm going to weigh myself every Tuesday. I don't think that it necessary to weigh myself everyday if I know I'm following my diet correctly. We will see what Tuesday has to say!

Good for you. I know how much our weight can fluctuate daily, so once a week is a great idea. I go in for my info meeting on Tuesday and I'm anxious! I want to look as good as I feel! Although, die to my weight gain, I don't feel as good as I used to!

Hi! I was banded on 25th July also and so far I have lost 5kgs which is about 11-12 lbs I think?

I am a compulsive weigher... Every morning, after peeing. I weigh myself three times to make sure i get an accurate reading (im a scientist). I am utterly miserable all day if I haven't lost anything.

I'm not looking forward to anyone telling me not to weigh myself each day :( I'm a bit OCD so giving this up will be hard.

I had my surgery on July 23, been following the post op diet and tracking everything that went into my mouth, but I have gained a pound since surgery. I am starting to get frustrated because I didn't get surgery to maintain my weight. I am walking and geting 100 grams of Protein a day and sore as hell, but still no weight loss. When will the weight loss start??? I did lose 16 lbs prior to surgery during the pre-op liquid diet. Maybe I need to give up mushy and go back to just liquid? ?? Help.

Banded on 7/23, I have not weighed myself once. I haven't actually weighed myself in years, because the numbers were scary. I choose not to do it now, because I don't actually know how much weight I have lost post-op. When I went in for my first week post-op check, I had lost 28 pounds since the 16th of July, but I am unsure how much of that was from the pre-op diet, and how much was after surgery.

I'm also a daily weigh-er...every day after I wake up and pee..I'm working nightshift right now, so that can mean in the afternoon or in the morning...that being said, I don't give myself a hard time if I'm up or down by a couple of pounds, as I realize this is normal...It's just my way of remaining accountable for what I put in my mouth...

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
