[puchy123 56]

Some tell me I'm not alone. I'm stall for the past 3 weeks. And people keep telling me to stop getting on the scale, but it's so hard I hear people here 8 weeks out and loosing so much weight. Today I took the battery out the scale and had my son hide it LOL!! Am I alone or is there others like me. Weighing my self everyday. HELP!!! LOL

I weigh every single time I pee lol. So maybe like 8-12 times a day. It's obsessive and I admit I have a problem! My husband tried to hide it and I bothered him until he gave up and gave it back. I've been in a stall for 2 weeks and I'm only 4 weeks out!

I do the same thing. I weigh everyday even though I tell myself to only do it once a week. It never works out that way. I can not stop weighing myself & I admit that I too have an addiction to the scale. I can not help it. You are definitely not alone

But isn't it so much nicer to be addicted to the scale rather than afraid of it (like we were before, LOL!)

[cherbear33 288]

Yes very much so. I used to hate going to the doctors & being asked to step on the scale. I always would say I was such & such a weight the other day at my other doctors so I dont need to get on it & they would say ok. I am happier to be addicted to the scale & not food anymore either that is a huge plus.

Cheer bear,

How is your diet! Starting, surgery and current weight? Your situation interests me because I had surgery June 20 my starting weight was 191 and I am only at 185- 5 weeks out! Sooooooo frustrated. What do your doctors tell you?

I am a newbie to the WLS life. I am only just short of 2 weeks out. My weight when i started everything to get this surgery was 319lbs but it jumped up to 327lbs a month before surgery bcuz my dad had become deathly ill & had actually died & was brought back but was intubated for 14 days & was hospitalized for a month altogether & i was basically living at the hospital & from morning to midnight which made it extremely hard to diet. Started my diet again the day after he came home. My weight @ the hospital the day of surgery was according to their scale 314 lbs. But my scale said I was 321 lbs the day I came home from the hospital. I dont know what my weight was on my scale the day of surgery bcuz I forgot to weigh myself before I left for the hospital (my nerves were through the roof that day) I am down 21 lbs as of tonight making my current weight 300 lbs. I was sleeved on july 18th & I have just started the soft foods stage.

Jessica, I'm like you, and people are telling me to move the scale out of the bathroom, but I too am obsessed with the numbers. It keeps me on track. the downside of the ugly beast, is when it's up, I end up eating, because, I'm like, well it's up. so I may as well eat something else. Not taking into the fact that it could be Water weight or whatever. Its definitely an illness (for me)

Some days I hate my scale.< /p>

[cherbear33 288]

I have been stuck @ 300 lbs for the past few days really have to try to stop weighing myself everyday especially now that the weight is not moving as quickly. Trying to stay positive as I know stalls are to be expected. Just did not think it would be at 2 weeks out. I can not conplain to much though as I did lose 21 lbs since my surgery on july 18th, well actually since the day I came home which is when I started weighing myself. I wish everyone the best!!!!

I'm at a stall also...doesn't help that my scale is on the fritz. I'm almost 2 months post op and I've lost 30 pounds. I feel like I should be loosing more

Never thought about it this way but this is so true!!

[sheilarae 84]

My dr told me some weeks ill lose pounds and the next ill lose inches. I'm 2 1/2 months out and have lost about 20 pounds. My clothes are very baggy. Measure your self so the scale isn't the only number youre thinking about.

[kiwi63 22]

I'm 2 1/2 months out too. Lost 38lbs since pre-op diet but stalled on weight loss for 6 weeks. BUT ....... Jeans that didn't fit 6 weeks ago are now falling down! I'm obsessed with the scale, I weigh every morning, but realise that it's those NSV's which are just as important as the numbers.

Since we are talking about scales do you guys have cheapo scales or slightly more sophisticated ones?? I have a cheapo digital but am thinking about getting one that's more technically advanced.
