Scales or no scales?
i have a very very similar problem and so i dont end up hurting myself one way or another i am not using a scale until solids. i am going to measure myself once a week always no more no less. when i start weighing myself it will only be once a month, if i can handle it. it is really easy for me to start getting depressed and crazy over my weight. i have done very well keeping all the disorders i have i check. i would love to weight and measure myself every second but in my heart i know it is not safe for me. i think it is something you really have to think about honestly and talk to your therapist and those who know you best. you might be doing fine with it for awhile and then have rough spots and need to change your plans and it is good to have honest feedback so you know when you need a change even if maybe you dont want to. i decided to focus on healing now and to stress the rest later. i monitor what i eat for what my body needs to heal and i get weighed at the doctors. the scale is just too stressful. i know i am losing because i know i am doing the right things with my time and energy. i monitor those things rather than a number because they tell the whole truth of what i am doing and what i can control.

hey guys... it felt so good to sleep in my own house last night. it is not easy to rest in a hospital . i am doing well i am in some pain but it gets better everyday. i do get hungry mentally hungry but i think it is from boredom really and my family eating around me plus talking about food every second. i never noticed how much people talk about food until. even people who dont have weight issues, what i am going to eat, what did you eat, are you going to eat, do you want to go get something to eat , foof food and more food.oh well just a week or how ever long and i can have full liquidstat wont be so bad
