I also hit a stall at about the 8th day out. I also felt very discouraged. 4 days nothing even went up a pound on one of those days! But I checked this morning and I'm down the 1 I gained plus another. I'm addicted to the scale. I think it's only natural after what we all went through and the journey we chose to take. But trying to do the once a week scale thing sounds like a great idea. I am 12 Days post op and 13 lbs down. Yay.
