Every time I got on the digital scale at my surgeon's office it was always 10-15 pounds heavier than my digital scale at home.

At my 1 month post-op I was 398 pounds on my home scale and the same day at the surgeon's office they insisted that I was 412!

They insisted their scale was right. Well, today I had my 3 month post-op appointment and I brought my digital scale from home.

My scale said I was 360. Their scale said I was 360. Then they told me they recently had their scales calibrated because they were inaccurate.

HA! I WAS RIGHT! I AM VINDICATED!!!!

I just wanted to post this and vent.

Thanks.

:P

My surgeon scale is always higher. I weigh myself at home in the morning without clothes. Your weight will fluctuate throughout the day. I don't care if it's more, just that I'm losing.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
