Was jumping on the scale once or twice a day. I stayed the same this week, but I am wearing a smaller shirt and pulled my belt buckle in a notch!

Thinking even once or twice a month may be better for weigh in. Want to focus on a better life not a number.

Yeah, it is hard to stay away from the scale. Great philosophy to work on better life and not a number...I will have to remember this when I get sleeved.

I plan on taking my weight and measurements monthly from the day of my surgery, 12/19. I don't want to obsess about the scale, I see too many people on here panic when they have a stall. When my clothes fall off I'll know I'm good lol

I had my hubby hide the scale. I cant not step on it every time I go in there. Now it is just once a week and much better!

The latter is a better plan. I don't have enough control to only weigh twice a month. Lol. It takes lots of will power from me to weigh only once a week. It also is a good idea to take measurements. This helped get me through a couple stalls.

Great idea on taking measurements. I should do that tomorrow for the "starting" measurements. I have an old unreliable scale and keep thinking I should replace it before surgery but I cam be compulsive about weighing myself even before I've had surgery so for now I am just relying on the weigh ins at the doctors office.

I have refused to purchase a scale right now. I will when I am 3months postoperative.

From the start i've decided that there will be no scale in my house. I see a doctor/nut enough that if i only gauge my weight-loss off visits to their office i will be okay. Its worked out great so far, and i've only gained once, but that was within 24 hrs and 2 different dr scales (one was digital and the other was analogue, and it was a diff of about 1 pound).

No need to obsess over a number when i can just focus on how i feel...

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
