I hate my scale! It lies!



Recommended Posts

Anyone else with me on that?! :thumbup:

Ignore my ticker but I'm trying to lose the 30 lbs my surgeon wants me to lose before I get the band and it's friggin hard and my scale lies!

On the 5th it said I had lost about 9 lbs... 5 days later this morning it said I gained 5 back! :frown: What the heck?! :thumbup:

I haven't been doing absolutely GREAT with the diet but I've been eating way less and way better than what I normally do and drinking Water and I had maintained the same weight for at least a year before this. I'm ready to slam that scale against the wall! Omg!

I'm going on a partial liquid diet today, shakes and sensible dinner only. :seeya:

Are you near TOM? I know when I am, I avoid the scale because I always go up a few #'s :frown:, but they come right at the end, so... among many other reasons, this could be it...

Good luck with the weight loss and upcoming surgery :thumbup:

Well, it could be dependant on when you weigh yourself, i think that its best to weigh yourself in the morning right when you get up right after you use the bathroom. That is when you get the best reading!! I think so anyways, hopefully this might help!

You can go up and down quite a bit during the day. Also, if you are eating those frozen meals or commercial foods they have tons of salt in them. I found that I bloat up quite badly if I don't stay away from them.

      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.
