Anyone else obsessed with the scale after surgery?

Every day no matter what? GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!!!!!!

Littledutchee you may not get restriction right away I am 1 year ahead of you and I did not get to my sweet spot for over 6 months. So dont worry you will make this journey just like every one here. You may have to go through bandster hell, I know I did. You will succeed.

Good Luck

I am 11 months out and I weigh daily. Like someone else said I count the losses and shrug at the little gains. I am 80 lbs down now and have been here for a couple months. It's frustrating- but trying diff things to try and lose like higher caloric intake more Protein and more Water

Guilty! I weight nightly and every morning. I can't help it.

I threw mine out ! They drive you crazy ! ! !

I get weighed when I see a Dr. Bariatric, or PCP.

They read the chart, and find my last weight, and then record the new,

and by that time we are usually both very Happy.

I also record my weight on a small purse calendar. Then I can see the progress for myself.

I weight my self daily - every morning after I shower. I don't think I am obsessed with it - it is now a habit for me.

I'm a daily weigh-er too. It keeps me honest!

I used to, but after my weight loss stopped it go boring. Now I go by how my clothes fit.

It's wonderful to be liberated from the danged thing!

I totally agree !

I weigh myself every day. I do get disappointed if it's higher, but I don't stress about it too much. I know even though my weight loss is slow, it's okay, because it's healthy loss.

I do it every morning too!

I have to admit, I weigh almost daily also. I use it both as a barometer of how I am doing AND hoping to see a loss. Unfortunately, I am pretty discouraged right now. I was banded on 3/10/11 and initially lost 9lbs however, when I went onto solid foods I gained back 4lbs. I am trying to watch what I eat but have NO restriction at all. I can eat anything. I have not had a fill yet. When I had my last appointment 6 weeks ago the doctor said it was too soon for a fill. I go back on 5/24/11. Hopefully he will give me a fill. My hope is that once I get filled, I will start seeing progress again. Has anyone gone through this?

Guilty as well.... I weigh myself at least once a day (usually two or three times). I had my surgery three weeks ago and I'm suppose to just now be introducing solid foods, but I'm eating pretty much everything. Nothing has given me any problems (so far) and I feel like I am eating WAY to much!!! I know I'm not eating as much as I use to, but I thought lap band patients weren't suppose to be able to eat much, and I am! I never really FEEL hungry, but I never feel full either. Yesterday I ate a whole grilled cheese sandwich. And I know I shouldn't have ate the whole thing, but I actually felt full (and a little uncomfortable) but it still didn't make me sick or anything. Since surgery I have lost about 15 lbs and I am happy with that, but since I started eating "normal food" I haven't lost anything. I'm just feeling a little discouraged because I am able to eat so much.... I don't know. I go on July 22nd for my first fill. I guess I will just wait and see!!!
