LOL, I am too. I always go with the lower number.

If it's not too personal, how much have you lost altogether. I'm 18 days pre op.

Altogether total I've lost 39 pounds my initial weight was 245 on date of surgery I was 228....its a slow and steady process

That is awesome!! Great job!!

You are doing great. You always weigh more at the doctor because of clothes and what you have eaten and drank during the day. Their starting weight should have been higher than your home weight anyway. I use my own morning weigh ins to count my pounds lost. Keep up the good work!

That's why I always get completely naked before stepping on the scale at the doctor's office!

Congrats on the weight loss, great work!

I always wear the same type of clothing when I go. And I try to make all my appointments in the morning so that I can go on an empty stomach LOL!! I have been doing it this way since I started Weight Watchers when I was in 10th grade. (16 years go).

Congrats on your loss!! #AWESOME

Thanks everyone!

I weigh in the morning in the buff, and that is the weight I use for my pounds lost. At my 2 week post op check up I weighed in the morning at my house, then I got back on the scale fully dressed to see what my scale would say. Then when I got on the scale at the docs their scale had me at .2 lbs more than mine at home. Pretty close I thought.

Either way the scale is moving down and I am happy
