Yippeee!!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share my exciting experience. I went to get my first fill this past Monday. (Which was a breeze btw to all you newbies out there) Well, to give you the background to this story, before I had surgery I went and bought a nice scale. I figured it would be a good investment seeing as how I would actually WANT to look at a scale now!! So I digress, my starting weight the day of surgery was 269. My scale had been telling me for the past month before my fill that I was 271, which had been incredibly depressing. (I had also been execising for 30 minutes a day as well.) So of course when I go into the room for my fill, the first thing the nurse wants to do is weigh me. Ugghh I think to myself. So I very hesitantly step on the scale and look down at the numbers- 258. Out of shock and confusion, I turned around and told the nurse something was wrong with their scale (totally oblivious to the fact that it was MY scale that was the one that was wrong) and after re-weighing myself two times, and letting the shock absorb, I started BALLING!! I could not believe I had LOST 11 lbs instead of GAINING 2!!!! So, beware of your own scale, becuase it very well may be wrong!!!
