I know I'm not suppose to

Yes I am weighing myself every 2 days and I know it will come to a point of the horendous stall. But this morning I stepped up and the scale read 266.5 down from 272.0 2 days ago. I am enjoying my new sleeve and I know my body is using the excess fat due to me not eating anything, but I am only 8 pounds away from what I lost with the dreaded lap band. Anyway it's a happy day. Ok i'll say it " I to am a scale *****"

I didnt like scales even after surgery. I was weighed when I went to see my surgeon and that was it. It was like a lottery scratch off  seeing what I won . Now that im not gonna break any scale I step on I do it every 2-3 weeks.If you do start to stall then hide the scale or throw it away.but great going on the loss so far

Dusty. . . .you scale *****!!!! lol Lucky for me, I don't have a scale in my house. I weigh myself at my parents house. I was going to purchase one, but I decided I better not. I don't want to be a scale ***** like you!!!! lol I can understand how you feel because I was on the scale everyday during my two week pre-op diet!!!! I'm so happy for you that things are going great for you. Keep up the good work!

Oh Mel we are just gonna have one delivered to your house then you can be just like me LOL.

Yep...it's addictive.  Especially when you are losing....I am going to hate the scale if I stall! lol!

I was a total scale ***** for the first 6 weeks after surgery and I'm talking, 2-3 times a DAY *****! ;) lol  But I've recently cut back to once a week which was HARD but it was on the tails of TWO 2-week stalls where I nearly lost my mind. After that I tried only once a week and it actually makes me feel better because if I am stalling, I only have to see it once or twice (and I never see a "GAIN" like I did when it was every day) and if I'm not it makes me feel like a superstar because I see decent numbers.

I love this new term though...scale ***** lol! Awesome.

Don't worry about it.  I am almost 3 years out and I weigh myself faithfully every morning when I get out of the shower.  Get this - For the first year post op, I kept a chart, I wrote it down everyday and graphed it.  LOL!!!  Talk about obsessive.  However, I must say, it kept me motivated. I also kept my food logs.  When I saw the scale move up or stall, I checked the logs.  Let me tell you, it helped me considerably.  I'm not that bad now.  So if you think you're a scale ***** what are you calling me???lol

Dusty, yea to being a scale ***** You have every right. Take care and good luck with that sleeve.
