Shellbell73 4 Posted May 15, 2012 Give yourself a chance. Most people don't weigh themselves the first week because of stuff like weigh gain while being in the hospital hooked up to an IV. I would just relax. Don't stress yourself out and wait another week or so before looking at the scale.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimmy*custis 276 Posted May 15, 2012 Yes, dont even look at the scale for at least 2 weeks, dont torture yourself, I would know...I did it! It will be dropping off like crazy before you know it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spainter2009 12 Posted May 15, 2012 4 pounds in 6 days omg I would love to do that. Give it a chance and dont get discourged that is why we are all the way that we are because we would get discourged with ourselves and give up. Hang in there you will be just fine.

shelleyrn22 78 Posted May 15, 2012 Valerie!!!!!!!! Do you have any idea how bloated surgery makes you??? The IV fluids alone are enough to put on 10lbs! CHILL OUT!!! Oh - and by the way.... about this time next week, I'll expect this same reply from you... Glad you are doing well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tmorgan813 13 Posted May 15, 2012 I agree with everyone on here. DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF for at least a week.... was a huge rule from my doctor. I didn't listen and I was just where you are. Now, I weigh myself every week (thanks to my husband who hid the scale per my request) and I love seeing the numbers drop. Also, if it only goes down a pound or two, it's still lower and I'm happy!!!! Give yourself time. Good luck and congrats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
