If it makes you feel better, what you're feeling is completely normal. Only now at over 3 years out I obsess about KEEPING it off :P

Totally normal and, imo, healthy.

Getting obsessed and staying obsessed is how you are going to lose the weight and keep it off. :)

I weigh myself once an week and it's much better for me as I was getting to an obsessive point a few months back. Like if I saw a scale I would have to step on it and analyze the results. Also expect stalls and during those times don't drive yourself crazy. During stalls are when I have my biggest loss of inches. Also for me it helped to really get in tune with my body and what I need. Find a good balance of food and exercise and listen to what your body needs. For example during my time of the month, I always stall for up to two weeks. At first I was frustrated but now that I saw the pattern I don't measure myself during that time. It saves me heartbreak. I usually will lose 4-5 pounds the week after and then 1-2 the rest of the time.

Hang in there! I am 6 months post-op today, and JUST came out of a 7 WEEK STALL! This will pass and you will watch that scale continue to go down with amazement. Stay the course, do your part in this journey. It gets discouraging along the way. Just remember there will be many many bumps in the road, but victory is oh so sweet! Make sure to keep up with your Vitamins, Water, Protein, diet and exercise. Everything will happen as it is supposed to. Just keep doing your part. Sending love and encouragement to you!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
