    I'm day 3 post o.p.
    * i used to eat huge amounts of desserts watching Biggest Loser
    * 60o lb life, still a go-to, but now pay closer attention to the surgery and recovery
    * My favorite trip was to the grocery store. I certainly ate my emotions and tried to bake everyone happy.
    * I spent so much time, money, fat at fast food. I would actually justify a cheeseburger and fries as part of a healthy diet. Then drive through the next set of arches for a frappe and pie.

    Congrats! You got this! When I did this for the first time, I was thinking the same thing. The very first weigh in back in 2005 was at weight watchers and my weight at that time was only 3 pounds less than when I started my pre op diet this year. I am super glad to have come as far as I have in this short time. Right now I am nervous about being at 265.. that was the weight I could never get below ( although I did once when I was doing Atkins, I got down to 225).. so I have two more numbers to beat on the scale. The 265 ( am 3 pounds away from this) and the 225 my lowest ever to date!

    I feel ya, friend. My highest weight was 463. I have to get a physical once a year for my insurance at work, and when I went in to get weighed, they had to try 3 different scales before they found one that would weigh me. It ended up being a blessing, really, as I made up my mind right then that I had to do something. There was a Bariatric info session the next day, and I signed up and went to it. I haven't looked back since, and I'm 178 pounds lighter now.

    Congrats on having surgery, and I'm so happy to hear you're doing well! I did the same thing, actually, and weighed myself right when I came home from surgery. Bad idea, I'd gained like 15 lbs and my family was like terrified I'd be upset. I just took more pain pills and took a nap. lol.
    My highest weight was close to yours, 360! I feel like admitting it is so powerful, like there's no reason to be ashamed. I'm not less of a person because I weighed 360 lbs, and neither are you. You're about to go through so many changes, and I hope you know that you deserve all of the good that comes with this. You're amazing, wonderful and so strong. You're just getting started on his journey, and that's amazing! I wish you luck, happiness and so, so much positivity.

    I'm on day 3 post o.p. and doing well.
    I stepped on the scale, just like my doctor said NOT to do. Totally reminded me of being at my heaviest (at least heaviest recorded weight). it we at Weight Watchers, 365. I had to be taken from the "regular" scales to the industrial supper-fat scale in a stinky back room. I felt so bad, too fat for weight watchers. Never again, my friends, never again. I plan to live a healthy lifestyle. I hope not to get preachy or like a "dry drunk". I'll be working toward erasing (aka coming to terms with) bad-fat experiences. Anyone else??
