woohoo!!! yiiipeee!!! I got my g-tube out
I got my g-tube out today and Belinda and Saraah you were right. When I weighed I had lost 3 lbs of fat but I had gained 1 lb of water and 1.5 lbs of muscle. So that is why I have not noticed the scales moving. I will stay away from weighing every day. Thanks for all the encouragement from everyone. Boy am I glad to have that tube out. I feel so free.
Staying off the scales is tough, but I think weighing just once a week can be much more rewarding. 
I'm working on that now myself! 
Not sure what a g-tube is, but glad you feel better!
I learned to not weigh myself every day when I was in OA (Overeaters Anonymous). I used to weigh myself CONSTANTLY--morning and night, every day. When I first started NOT weighing myself, well... I was kind of lost! I didn't know how to "feel!" In other words, when I got on the scale, it would determine how my whole day would go--my life revolved around what the scale said. When I stopped weighing myself so often, I was free of all the moodiness that goes with the scale going up and down. And I decided that, no matter whether I had gained or lost weight, I used it as an excuse to eat anyway.... Hope you can break yourself of the habit, you'll probably be happier.

I am going on vacation in the morning to visit my oldest son and his wife so no scal will be available for 8 days. Hopefully that will help get off the weighing every day addiction.
