So everyday I keep weighing my self and complain to him that it doesn't change, and he knows the Dr said to only weigh myself once a month, so tonight he said he was going to hide the scale, lol, it might be for the best, I have heard that if you are stressed,your body holds onto your fat, not sure if that is true or not but I might just let him hide it
 
I had surgery Tues. Got weighed at the hospital before surgery. I haven't weighed myself since. I am tempted. I know my stomach is still swollen from surgery but it is going down some. Surgeon said it would take 4-7 days for the swelling to go down. Our scale is under our bed so I have to come out of the bathroom and get it every time I want to weigh. I think I will weigh myself in the morning and then no more until my follow up visit with the doctor on the 19th. I can't wait to go shopping for smaller clothes.
 
Good fo

Good for you, I wish I could do that, I told my husband that I need to do something fun to take my mind of of it, so off to the casino we go tomorrow, one of my favorite things to do, not that I go alot or spend much money, but still fun

I actually went to a pre-op class today and my doctor mentioned some tips on weighing. He said that he had gone to a conference with several bariatric surgeons and they all said hat they had best luck with patients that weighed themselves every other day.

My Dr said only once a month because sometimes your weight loss stalls and he doesn't want us to get frustrated, but I have been good since my husband said that, it is hard though
