That's what I'm talking about!

Yep! I am weighing everyday! I hate to admit it but I do. First thing every morning. I don't want to weigh at night because I weigh more then. I was stuck at the 13 lb loss from my 1 week post op, then I'd go up a pound down 1 up 2 down 1 then down another then up 1 so on and so on. Very frustrating when only having about a 1000 calories a day. I have posted this on another thread here somewhere, but I was reading on the main thread that if you are eating less than 1200 calories a day your body stores everything. I have uped my calories and have watched the scale go down 2 days in a row. I am hoping I am on to something!

That idea seems crazy but also true...I may have to try it. I am eating about 800 a day and I'll find out monday how thats going...I feel like I'm not losing but who knows!!

I stopped weighing as often (every few days now) because the scale isn't moving. However, yesterday I re-measured everything and I've lost 3.5 inches in the last few weeks. So yay there! Don't forget, there's more than just a scale to measure progress :)

I too went to my mom's house to weigh myself. and decided that I would wait until today (1 wk p/o visit) to see what my progress is.

I was actually told to get a scale and a full length mirror (I don't have one:blink:) And weigh myself every thursday. They said as vain as that sounds, it actually helps in the long run b/c you are your own worst critic, and it's motivating... ummm, I guess :)??????

So for this weekend, I will get the scale. And I'm going to be gym hunting in the next 2 weeks, as well as Getting some really comfy sneakers next week..... Takin it a step at a time/

This is why I didn't want to weigh myself heaps lol. I didn't wanna be a scale whore - In having said that I said to myself I would only weigh myself twice a month and that's all I've done - I measure myself once a month as well (did it today) and even if I haven't lost any I've definitely lost the inches, it's great.

I've lost 6cms on my hips. 6cm on my waist & 1.6cm on my chest lol. To me the kgs don't matter as long as I see that the inches/centimetres are going down =)

It's funny, I have been at goal now for a number of months, but i still weight myself every few days to make sure T STAY there!

There was a period, though, when I was a little obsessive about it, but I got over tha pretty quickly. With RNY, the weight rolls off pretty fast and reliably so i just got used to the idea that this was working, so I stopped obsessing!

I have always had this problem. I weigh at least twice a day. It keeps me on track for the day.

i was banded 6/09/09 so i'm3 days post op. couldn't wait to weigh myself because my husband lost 2 and 3 lbs daily he is 3 weeks post op. i actually gained 4lbs following doctors orders. so i'm staying off the scale before i get depressed

      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... :(
