I hate the scale, I only weigh once a week! The scale seems to be my enemy

Way to Go!! How Exciting

This is a HUGE HIPAA violation!!!

@VSGAnn, Maybe I needed to hear your thoughts, sometimes I just want the weight to fall off, and I have myself thinking if I dont eat and drink it will come off faster, very wrong
Oh BTW my surgery was 10/29/15 - weight 245lbs today I weighed 219, yes I should be Thankful
Sometimes it just helps to vent and hear others thoughts

First off, take the word "only" out of your vocabulary. When was the last time you lost 25 lbs in four weeks? That's more than five pounds a week! That is awesome. Track every gram of Protein, every bite. And hydrate. I have had two major stalls since my surgery in August. Both times, for whatever weird reason, they lasted for 9 days each. Then I lost like two or three pounds overnight.
Don't be discouraged. As long as you are following plan it will come off.

The hospital will contact your insurance company with the information necessary to get approval for the second night. I would not worry.

Went to my PCP and my BP was low causing the dizziness, she took 1 away, 4 weeks after surgery!! I'm a HAPPY girl

I was on BP meds and was soon taken off the meds. I still get dizzy and I just stop, put my head down until it passes. It mostly happens when I stand up. The body is adjusting to the weight loss. I agree that staying away from the scale is a good idea if it makes you feel bad about yourself. You will see results in time.

I got very dizzy at the same point. Had to immediately stop taking my BP medicine as my BP was too low. Went away after 2 days.

I usually get dizzy when I'm not getting enough Water in. Hope you get it figured out!

Have you considered seeing a therapist about it? It sounds like a form of OCD.

Called on call surgeon and since thats all im having, symptoms wise, to call my surgeon in morning.

Ugh...yep...I've heard it too from my own husband. I have to remind him often that I plan meals on Saturday for the entire week prior to grocery shopping. i ask for input from the whole family....I make what they want, within reason, and I eat what I can and if they are eating what i can't I eat something else. At times he complains that he wants what I am having...and I remind him "YOU picked the meal!"
We had an disagreement one night because he said all I cared about was my own weight. (as he sat stuffing his face with potato chips) I have been trying to get the entire family to eat healthier...it's a struggle, one they are willing with words to endure, but when it comes down to it, when it is time to eat it...they all want the unhealthy meals...I'm not willing to shop again, so they are stuck with it. Pure lack of willpower, IMO.
Once not long ago during an argument, he told me I was still fat, what good did the surgery do?....I told him if he EVER said that again, we would be separating. I also told him, "I won't be fat much longer, YOU are an ass...hold long will that last?" Granted, I love my husband, but I will NOT be ridiculed by him, ever!
99% of the time, he is supportive and encouraging and I couldn't be happier. The other 1% of the time, I want to smack him with a pan. What irks me is that he can eat chips, etc....beer etc...have only a Protein shake at lunch and he is down 14 lbs in one month...never exercises either. I struggle for every lost pound.
I told him finally, you are either on board or not. I don't pressure him to live my WLS life, i don't inconvenience him. I agree with you...truth is spoken in jest....if it is thought and said, I can only imagine what is NOT being said. When he gets that way, it is his problem (speaking from my situation)...I just stop sharing things with him for a while. When he asks me about it, i just say "Oh, I didn't think you cared anymore."

I would call the office right away. I think this violates HIPPA rules but I'm not sure. But it is decidedly NOT cool. I would be as upset as you are.

Thinking you should call your surgeon. I dont think a fast heart rate is normal.

@@Chelle Bean Protonix is a drug, it is a PPI like omeprazole. Did you mean something else?

I hate the "stalls", sometimes it make me think I did this for nothing! Then I take a more postive approach - easy to put the weight, much harder to take off! Slow and Steady wins the race. VSG done 10/29/15 -surgery weight 245 lbs today's weight 223 lbs
