Why am I such a scale whore??

Howdy folks (I say "howdy" because I was born and raised in WY) - Yes there are black folks there :tt1: LOL!! Anyway.. I did pretty damn good today. I walked 5 miles outside UPHILL.

A total of 24 pounds lost - 8 days post-op

Hello friends! I have missed talking to you all! Well you all know that I put myself on a pre-surgery all liquid diet 2 weeks prior to surgery. Well I am on the third week of solely liquids and I have lost a total of 24lbs! I have lost 8 pounds since surgery 8 days ago. They had to repair a hiatal hernia when they put in the band. I am doing SUPER. I cannot believe that I have already began part of my work out routine (brisk walking and 10 mins on the elliptical (without the use of my arms)). I

However, I researched more and more and found out hat a lot of people were doing the liquid diet two weeks before and two weeks after their surgery. Patients/doctors said that people tend to loose weight better after surgery because a lot of the toxins are flushed out of your body. Also the liver shrinks which makes the surgery safer. Anyway, So I decided to go on the diet. My diet consists of broth, V8 (fruit and the veggie) sugar free

The date is nearing closer!

I am VERY excited about my upcoming life changing event! I am also glad that I found this website as a means of support. I am not feeling too supported at home right now. Everything was okay until a few days ago. My husband asked me about loose skin after the surgery. I told him that I know that I may have loose skin in my stomach area and in my breast area, but the rest I think will be okay. Well he continued to question me about the same subject for the next few days.. So last night I confront
