  1. 1. How often do you weigh yourself?



Recommended Posts

I agree!.. In the past I always weighed in once a week.. but my father (an engineer).. has always told me that weighing in once a week misses the patterns.. you need to note your weight everyday to see the pattern emerge for weight loss. My Mum loses 1kg every 10 days (fluctuating daily).. my Dad loses 1kg every 7 days.

I used to get SO mad at Weight Watchers because I would always stay the same or gain!.. but when my father explained this basic fact.. I was stunned!.. I was weighing in on my heavy day!..

I personally now weigh everyday. And like other bandsters think of it as assisting me.. it is good to see little losses.. it makes the weigh in at the docs easier to bare when I have gained a little..

I will be watching my weight daily post op!.. and plotting my numbers on a graph!. .it will be very interesting to see a pattern develop!..

I think I know what you mean, I have even noticed patterns during the month. I gain 2 pounds every single month right when I ovulate and I lose those two pounds right before my period starts. I seem to lose the most amount of weight right when AF is winding down and the week leading up to ovulation again. I used to get annoyed that I would gain 2 pounds every month with no explanation till I realized it kept happening and it wasn't something I was doing wrong, just normal fluctuations in my body weight.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
