Hello I was banded on Monday, June 28 and I decided to weight myself today. I have not been hungry and have been trying to make sure I get my liquids in. I felt like I had lost a few pounds so my husband went and bought our first scale EVER. And to my surprise I've lost 5 lbs. I'm so excited. I would love to hear some success stories from others this early in the process! Thanks.:tt1:

Congrats!!

A journey of 1,000 miles starts with one step (or something like that)

Whoa! I'm waxing philosophical.

Congrats on the weight loss!

I still don't own a scale but plan on buying one soon! I was just banded 6/30. When they weighed me preop I had lost 6 lbs from the pre-surgery liquid diet :tt1: I was pretty excited! I can't wait to see what I way one month out and so on!

congrats congrats, just becareful you get addicted to that scale.....don't use it everyday - you go crazy.:tt1:

I know, I know... I promise the scale will only be used every once in a while(hopefully). Thanks everyone. Good luck on your weight loss, it is amazing this feeling I have.

Don't weigh yourself until at least Tuesday Miler. Your stomach is still swollen from surgery and your body is full of IV fluids.

I get on the scale everytime I walk into my room and out of it. Its soo addicting! I cant stop!!

Me too. Somebody here coined the term "scale whore" and I love it.

I weigh myself multiple times a day but only record my weight from first thing Tuesday morning. I also don't let myself get upset with a little gain here and there.

Congrats on your loss! I lost a lot the first few weeks.

Me neither. I weigh myself so much that I can usually predict how much the scale is going to say at night or if I eat something that is more salty then most. My personal trainer keeps telling me only to weigh myself once a week, but whats the harm in 5x a day ?! lol

For those who weigh multiple times per day, just say you are getting your step exercizes.
