It's a good thing we have digital scales now. I could shift my weight to the left on my old scale and "lose" 3 pounds.

I weigh each a.m. in panties only. If I can manage an early "movement"--it's always a good day.

I like to weigh myself at home - naked - and then jump in the car and zip over to the doctor's office so I can compare my scale and his. I do this about once a month and have discovered that if I leave the top down, I can get a really nice, all over tan this way. Well...not actually all over, but my whole front part, anyway.

LOL, Carlene, are you insinuating that you drive to the doctor's office to jump on his scale while still naked? :)

First thing I do after going to the bathroom is weigh myself before my shower naked. I only post my scales #'s b/c like most other ppl my doc's scale is usually 3-5 lbs heavier. The scale at the gym is about 3 lbs heavier, the one at Publix is the same as mine at home just like the scale at work. So of course I go with my scale and ignore my doctors. Something about doctor scales--they have ALWAYS weighed heavy. I think they are set up that way on purpose. Evil scales!!! :)

LMAO.... you guys are funny. This is a fun thread...

I bought an industrial strength scale from Sam's wholesale. I weigh every morning, after tinkle, before shower. It's not electronic, so I "calibrate" it before I step on too. My husband laughs at me when he sees me do this....

I am about 4 pounds heavier with clothes on at the Dr.'s office, so I much prefer my home scale too. LOL.

I weight myself with underware on and when I go to the doctor, I tell them my weight. This "take 3 pounds off" is just bull. I allowed a nurse to weigh me one time then emptied my pockets, took of my belt and shoes and weighed myself again. 9 pounds less. If I had taken off my shirt it would have been more. I weigh myself at the same time and in the same state (no not Florida, silly) of dress (or undress). If you do it any other weigh (I mean way), you are comparing apples with oranges. I like oranges better, especially if they are naval.

When I weigh myself naked and then agained dressed like I am about to leave the house, it is a 12 pound difference.

i weigh myself before and after going to the bathroom, before and after I eat and dressed and undressed.

I've bought more scales that most people own in a lifetime. Sometimes I even take the scale on vacation with me. No scale = eating out of control and big weight gain. This of course will change once I am banded in 8 DAYS.

:hail: :funscale:

lol lila, you should join the 12 step programme for sscale addicts like me and mandi!!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
