Not replacing scale battery



Recommended Posts

Hi all

I have the most amazing scales that track my weight and record in an app. The obsession with getting on and off them has now ended. I have worked out that the scale is not moving and it is stressful and dictates my mood.

I have been sleeved two weeks tomorrow and have a follow up appointment in 4 weeks time. I will wait until then to know how much I have lost.

I am happy now - I worked out it doesn't matter re the numbers -my mental health feels really stable knowing I have embarked on this journey and what I am doing can only eventually lead to weight loss. I can hardly eat and can't wait to exercise.

I see a brighter future.

Bad decision. If you're retaining Water you need to know. It's a sign of infection. I get the psychological stuff is hard, but you're supposed to be working through that with the help of a therapist before the surgery. The scale is a tool and deciding not to use it because of mental road blocks might be detrimental to your health.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
