Did not want to step on that scale!

So today was my first post-op visit... I was sleeved on 4/9/12. Since I've been home I refused to step on the scale.
1) I did not want to be disappointed... the weight from fluids, the gas from surgery, etc....
2) It’s hard not to set unrealistic expectations for yourself!

So I went in and thought to myself I will be happy with a 10 pound weight loss. On surgery day I was 252. This afternoon at MD office 237! I said Holy ****! And I don't normally cuss

Just wanted to share

I was very surprised too when I stepped on the scale for the first time after the surgery. The loss has slowed down to about 2 lbs a week since but I'll take it. lol

Good for you. I think it's great that you can stay away from the scale, I have OCD and I stepped on the scale like 25 or more times a day at first. It was very unhealthy but I could not stop myself. Your way is much better, just stay the course and let the rest work itself out.

Congratulations good for you!

Good for you! I wish I could stay away from the scale. It determines my mood for the day and I really need to stop letting it. I have been in a stall for a couple of weeks now and it makes me so down. I have read everything that this is normal and to expect it but it doesn't make it any easier. Great start for you!

Good for you!!!! I also have an unhealthy obsession with the scale. Husband finally intervened and put the scale in his shop telling me it was NOT normal or healthy to weigh after every time I ate, exercised, and went to the bathroom...
