How often do you weight???

Hi everyone. I had RNY on Dec 3, and have lost 38 pounds. I have been feeling discouraged, but feel better now that I see there are others at about the same pace. I eat around 500-600 cals per day, trying to get in 60 gms of protein and usually get in about 50 oz of water. It seems sometimes like I am eating like a pig since I get so full; I don't know how I would get MORE calories in. I do wonder however, if more calories would help me lose faster. I should try it for a week and see what happens. Also, I walk about 1 1/2 miles 3-4 times per week.

I only weigh at the doctor's office, because I don't have a scale! I thought about buying one, but I tend to become scale obsessed, so I think it's better for now that I don't have one. Shirley

I used to weigh daily. After my most recent plateau broke, I've tapered off to a couple of times per week. Sue O.

let me tell you how often i weigh.... have you seen the commerical where the guy is at the gym and he weighs then he puts his headset on then runs like slightly around the machines then weighs again then hits the weigh machine due to the fact it still hasnt moved that is me

That is too funny!

I'm a daily weigher too.... I think of it as my reward for having this surgery. I have lost 54 lbs, but have been in a plateau for about a week and a half. I don't get crazy though when I hit these stalls... I know my body has to catch up with the weight loss. I am back on my stomach to sleep and have been for over a month. I got a recumbent air bike, and some weights, and on Monday I am starting 'Curves' with a friend. Maybe that wil jump start me. My biggest problem is that I have become lactose intolerant. I love milk, but it isn't loving me too much right now. Susan Lap RNY 12-1-04 285-231-155 (-54)

Hi Tonya, my doctor told me not to weigh any where except is office also, and i don't. I go to the doctor tomorrow and i can't wait to know how much i have lost. But I'm sleeping fine, i feel back normal, and i'm exercising like 3 times a week and like my friends tell me i'm disappearing before there eyes! kesha

I'm an everyday'r I get on those scales first thing every morning.

In the beginning I weighed every day but after 2 weeks I stopped and have only been weighing once a week now. I was going insane not losing one day then the next a few pounds would be gone.

Hi Tonya, I try weighing myself 1 x a week...because I do not want to become discouraged...I have lost 38lbs since surgery, it is starting to level off at about 2-4 lbs a week...I am walking 6 days a week for 30 mins. I have trouble sleeping only because my weight is shifting and causes me pain on my hips and buttocks, so, I am constantly turning side to side. I am having 55 grams of protein shakes a day for Breakfast and two 2oz meals and no snacks every day...I sure hope things go well with you and will be talking to you agai soon...Take care, Melissa A 343/329/291/???
