EXCITED...lost 5 llbs

[jennykay 0]

Hello I was banded on Monday, June 28 and I decided to weight myself today. I have not been hungry and have been trying to make sure I get my liquids in. I felt like I had lost a few pounds so my husband went and bought our first scale EVER. And to my surprise I've lost 5 lbs. I'm so excited. I would love to hear some success stories from others this early in the process! Thanks.:tt1:

Congrats!!

A journey of 1,000 miles starts with one step (or something like that)

Whoa! I'm waxing philosophical.

I still don't own a scale but plan on buying one soon! I was just banded 6/30. When they weighed me preop I had lost 6 lbs from the pre-surgery liquid diet :tt1: I was pretty excited! I can't wait to see what I way one month out and so on!

I know, I know... I promise the scale will only be used every once in a while(hopefully). Thanks everyone. Good luck on your weight loss, it is amazing this feeling I have.

Don't weigh yourself until at least Tuesday Miler. Your stomach is still swollen from surgery and your body is full of IV fluids.

Me too. Somebody here coined the term "scale whore" and I love it.

I weigh myself multiple times a day but only record my weight from first thing Tuesday morning. I also don't let myself get upset with a little gain here and there.

Me neither. I weigh myself so much that I can usually predict how much the scale is going to say at night or if I eat something that is more salty then most. My personal trainer keeps telling me only to weigh myself once a week, but whats the harm in 5x a day ?! lol

For those who weigh multiple times per day, just say you are getting your step exercizes.
