I would trust the dr.'s scale. And for my first post-op appt., I took my new scale (it's lightweight) with to the office so I could see how different they were. Mine says .8 lighter than the dr.'s scale.

This is exactly WHY i have been preaching all over this forum not to weigh yourself all the time. . . only at the doctor. . . I threw out my scale the day i came home from surgery . . . and now only weigh at my doctor appts. . . do you know how shocked i was when at my first week and half out of surgery the doctor scale showed i lost 32lbs? Then at my 7 week out i had lost 53lbs? it is so great not being a slave of the scale . . . these home scales are such a farce . . . i only believe in the doctor scale. . . good luck to you. . .

Ok I am really thinking of tossing my scale, I have been gaining weight because I am so afraid of something getting stuck! Today I was "29 lbs to lose" that is only 4 lbs from when I started seriously thinking of the revision. It is 9 lbs up from my lowest weight with the band. I get my unfill 3/1. :thumbup1:

So glad when this obsession is finally over!:thumbup1:

On a positive note off the caffeine. Only drinking Decaf tea. Don't drink coffee (latte now and then-will get decaf) Ok I know chocolate has caffeine but not there yet! :001_smile:

      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!!
