I am one of those people that would jump on the scale every chance I got to see if I lost or gained weight, about 2-3 weeks I made a conscious decision to stop doing this, instead I've been more concerned with how I feel and how my clothes fit, and both had been great.

My goals for getting sleeved were to lose weight, get fitter and healthier.

The last time I weighed I was around 230, but I feel great, I hit the gym 3/4 times a week sometimes more, my blood pressure has been perfect, my clothes are falling off me and on the plus side my wife has not been able to keep her hands off of me.

I just don't want to be overly concerned about the numbers, I just want to live a healthier lifestyle.

Congrats on breaking the control the scale had on your brain. How you feel about yourself and how you feel about how you feel you look is much more important. The wife's hands on you is an added bonus!!

Amen. I have read so so so SO many posts on here of people totally freaking out over stalls. So. Many. Posts.

I don't own a scale. I don't care about the numbers. I want to fit in a size 8 jeans and look good. That is what my goal is. I know that with this surgery and proper eating habits I WILL fit into an 8. Will it be four months, six months, nine? Who knows. But it will happen. Rather than obsessing over the scale I am going to enjoy the journey to those size 8 jeans.

Good for you! I limit my weigh ins to once a week, but I think how you are doing it is great.

Thanks everyone, can't believe how great I feel. I can't wait for summer and be able to enjoy the outdoors

I'm with you....I have a size and how do I feel goal, not a number. I do weigh once/week at work so I have something to put on my ticker, though. I also have "interested parties" Asking me all the time how much weight have I lost. But I think everyone that whines about their stall needs to be "grounded" and have their scale removed for a month. Just like taking a video game away from a kid who's playing too much and not doing their homework. All that mental anguish caused by the numbers just doesn't seem worth it.

Just an update it's been around 2 weeks and still no scale, but I feel great been hitting the gym 3-4 days week running on the treadmill, going a lot longer and faster then I would of ever thought, my clothes are falling off, had to do some shopping and feel so much more confident about myself.
