I'm Addicted!

I must adimit.....I'm addicted to the scale!  It's bad.  I'm 7 days post-op and have no business with a scale!  @!#$%d up!  Help!  THINK i NEED TO HURRY BACK TO WORK.

don't feel bad i have been on the scale everyday since my surgery jus****ching i know it not good to do that but i just have to do it ... so i know how you feel ... just don't get upset if you stall on the weight lost.. i hear people get too much in the numbers and not the progress so take care ... and enjoy your new you ... yvonne

I have aI know!  I also have b1een depressed because I get on 3-4 times a day, and I have only lost 3 lbs since the hospital.  Crazy! I know.  I put it away from myself once and just took it right back down.  I feel the difference, but it's not reflected on the scale. 

now remember on the lap band it a slower process then the rny so stoplooking at that scale and trust the surgery the weight will come off it just takes time ... don't ru****

I know, I know!  Im just anxious and I need proof to help validate the fact that I DID NOT MAKE A MISTAKE.  Im gettin better!

I LOVE your answer.  It is so true.  I am scheduled for lap band on Wednesday the 24th, and know that this is a TOOL for my genetic mishap, and that all of this weight did not come on overnight, so it will take some time to get rid of, as well.  I, personally, am afraid of the RNY procedure becasue I'm a near-hemopheliac (bleeding disorder).  I know it is right for others.  It is the receommended remedy if you have hundreds to lose, but I'm just gonna try the band. I hope you do well.

EVERYONE should remember that ALL of these procedures are TOOLS for the aid in safe weight loss.  If you are hoping for a miracle, just stick to the plan your MD gives you, and I'm sure it will come to you.

GOOD LUCK!!!

I had Lap-band on Sept 10 and lost 12 lbs the first week.  Then it stopped.  I know that it is probably normal but it is hard to know how little I am eating and not see any lbs come off the scale.  So I too am addicted to the scale.  I am sure a lot of us are.
