How Soon Did You Weigh Yourself?

[cuteNATL 93]

How soon after surgery did you weigh yourself for the first time? How much did you lose? Congratulations to everyone on this journey... We've made the decision to choose LIFE!

I know people say don't weigh yourself, but I weighed myself as soon as I got home from the hospital. I gained 5 pounds while in the hospital (because they pumped me full of fluids and you absorb a lot into your tissues after surgery). Anyhow, I have been weighing myself daily and my weight has fallen every day. I am down 26 pounds in 3 weeks, so I'm happy!

Congratulations to you @@leebick! On the ride home from the hospital, all I kept saying was how I did I go to the hospital for weight loss surgery but I look fatter! Lolololol

I think we need to be realistic, and acknowledge that this is still a weight-loss game. We all know how weight can fluctuate, so if you remember that and really fight having expectations of how much you "should" be losing, it doesn't matter if you weigh frequently or not. Just remember that it's going to be easier this time, and if you stick to your eating plan, it's going to WORK this time!

My surgery was 9/27 and I am down 12 pounds from day of surgery. That's almost 6lbs a week, I am happy with that. Don't expect it to stay that way but so happy. Congrats to everyone that has lost weight.

Right when I got home. Weigh yourself immediately so you know what you have gained and have to lose again. I would have hated to not know I lost those pounds.

I weighed myself 6 days after surgery and did it everyday even though I know you're not suppose to. I just liked watching my results it made me happy.
