Okay so i had my surgery the 27th of june, things seem to be going good, like alot of people i have the pain around the port side, but it is getting better day by day. I know when i went in on the 26th i weighed 235 and when i left the hospital on the 30th i weighed 231. But other than that i am not weighing myself until my 1 mth appt. I will be obsessive about it if i dont' stand firm LOL...OH criminy i just thought i have to have my PCM remove my stiches in 10 days so he'll weigh me their...darn it!! okay ill just tell them i don't want to know how much i weight that will work. :thumbs_up:

To all of you banders, i say HOOAH!!! this is gonna be one heck of a journey!!

I weighed my self and befroe I went in I weighed 364 I am 4 days post op and I am now weighing in at 353. I am having a hard time coming out of this surgery it was a horrible experience if you ask me medically wise that is OR I am weak either way I am done and hopefully moving on to a better and healthier life. I will try and not weigh myself either just yesterday got me curious! I go this week on thursday for the first appointment then after I weigh there it will be monthly for me or I will try LOL!!!! Good luck!

I had my husband hide the scales before my surgery so that I wouldn't worry about my weight, and just worry about healing. It's been great not being a slave to the scales. I know I've lost weight because I can feel it in my clothes and see it in body changes. The plan was to be weighed by my doctor tomorrow at my 2 week follow-up. Those are the last scales I was weighed on anyway.

Those plans got slightly changed when I bought a Wii Fit yesterday. The program figured out my weight and BMI. I'm not using those numbers as "real" though. I want to see what the surgeon's scales say!

I'm thinking that the scales can stay hidden and I'll let the Wii program track my progress through the activities.

I had my surgery on June 24th..I admit..I weigh myself daily...but thats what helps me get through the day..I am down 10 lbs today! and boy when I seen that I knew that my day wasnt gonna be so hard when I start starving..everybody is different tho..I am sure when u do get on the scale tho...u will be soooo happy and amazed all at one time..I guess I just like mine small doses at a time :wink_smile:
