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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
