Decided to stop weighing!

Only weighing on Mondays from here on out!! I'm 4 weeks out and down about 15-20 lbs I find that the daily fluctuations in weight from 1-5 lbs just upsets me!!!!! Ugh!

I feel your pain! lol I weigh 2-3 times a week just because I get a sudden urge just to check but I go with what I get every sunday. It really does fluctuate too much from day to day! Good luck!

I'm also 4 weeks out and struggling with daily fluxuations. Thought I was obsessed with the scale before the surgery. Tuesday's my day.

I just hope the once a week weigh in shows results I'm getting discouraged!!!

Me, too. I have to remind myself it took me a lifetime to get here, it won't all change over night.

I sent my scale to my daughters house down the road. I weigh once a week only.

Don't be a prisoner to that scale..get your Protein, fluids and Vitamins and you will succeed. I only weigh at my dr office.

Good for you, you will get used to it.

Whew! I thought it was just me getting frustrated with my scale. I had my 2 week post op on Monday and got the green light to start full liquids. The doctor said that once my calorie intake increases that the weight will come off. I was only getting in 300-400 calories during my 2 week clear liquid stage so I guess we'll see how it goes. I feel like I'm constantly reminding myself to eat these days. Why couldn't that have happened years ago??

Because you still had your entire stomach sending your brain hunger signals all the time lol

I am just a little over 4 weeks out (surgery June 8, 2015) and only weighed myself when I got home from the hospital and had gained so much Fluid from surgery(7 lbs) thst I made the decision to only weigh myself monthly so when I weighed myself at 4 weeks I was pleasantly surprised I had lost 20 lbs! I don't want to get discouraged by stalls, etc, so I'm concentrating on how my clothes fit and how good I feel instead. It's really a freeing feeling to not be so tied to the scale!!!!

Good luck!!

I am a scale junkie and its like crack to me...right now I am in a two week stall and I am really pissed at my scale. I may sit it outside in the Florida heat when I get home and let it sweat!

20 pounds down 4 weeks out is nothing to be discouraged about! Jmo.

I only weigh at my dr appointments. I refused to let the scale have power over me. Follow your plan, get your Protein and fluids and the weigh will come off. Good plan on your part. Best of luck
