The lowest of course =)

Seriously though, what you are tracking is a pattern over time. Minor differences won't make or break you. Stand on it once, once a week and you're good to go.

as @@jess9395 said "lowest of course" :D

welllll.....

i am one of THOSE that does weigh every morning :huh:

i step on the scale, don't look down (as to accidentally move the scale)

count to 10, then 10 again

look down - thats the #

no need to weigh again, even if you don't like that # ;)

keep up the good work :)

28 lbs down!!!

I weigh myself twice to double check - not sure exactly why. If I get different numbers I do it again until I get 2 that are the same. We have a twitchy scale too. Most of the time it's fine but once in a while ...

Lol, I have one scale that weighs exactly the same each time I step on it and one that likes to bounce around a few ounces. The way I stopped driving myself crazy on the twitchy scale was to only weigh myself once and whatever the first number was is the one I keep for the day.

I like that because if the first reading was right than that would mean that I have lost a total of 20 pds post op....I was sleeved July 1st

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
