To Weigh Or Not Too Weigh That Is The Question



Recommended Posts

I have been going through this wonderful site for a few weeks now and was wondering why some were weighing themselves weekly/ daily? Is this required by the doctor? scales have not been very good to me and I would only weigh myself if I had to. I wonder when I have my sleeve revision done shortly if once a month would be enough?

I get excited about the weight loss, so I like to weigh more often. It encourages me to stay on the plan:)

I weigh my self once a week, and again on the 21 of every month, since i had surgery on the 21 i like to keep track of how much i lose over all every month. It is not required by my doctor, i just enjoy seeing every pound i lose. I also like to kind watch for stalls or if i gain anything so that i know if i need to watch my portions or add more exercise.

Thanks for replying I just feel so negative when there is no weight Loss on the scales however someone once told me if you go to the supermarket and look at a 1lb block lard every pound lost looks like that of your body it makes me think more positive. :-)))

Good idea Squisha I suppose I just have the negative vibes from the crap band I have in at present and not only do I need to get my food head back in shape I also need to be less negative about weighing myself.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
