How did you approach the scale after surgery?



Recommended Posts

I am not yet sleeved, hoping July/August. Right now I weigh myself every morning and I am fine when losing or maintaining but get a little stressed when it moves up, even .2. So I am wondering it anyone put the scale away before surgery? Maybe used a different measure such as clothing? Also I am wondering about possibly just having my husband give me the scale once a week and keep it hidden otherwise, Just wondering what some have done!!

Yes you should not weigh more than once a week. There will be times when you stall and it will drive you crazy everyday and wind up depressing you. It is really a mind thing that you have to control because you will start thinking to yourself is this it is this all the weight I am going to lose. I weight once a week and when I lose I am happy and if I don't I always tell myself maybe next week.

Well, I weigh before I go to bed and when I get up. Daily. Probably not the best thing from a mental perspective, but I feel it keeps me in check with what I will eat throughout the day.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
