weighing in

ok  it is only hte  5th day after surgery and i was wondering when a good point is to weigh for the first time. i really want to weigh but i am also scared that i haven't lost what i think is a good amount of weight being only on liquids for this long. how long did everyone wait to weigh?

I waited 2 weeks.This soon after surgery you more than likely have alot of fluid still on board . If you don't get discouraged easily then by all means weigh. If you do, I would hold off til your weigh in at diet class. I also only weigh once a week. Rita

I waited until I went back for my first post surgery visit.  I figured no news was probably good news. 

I only waited about 4 days and had lost, but not everyone does. I don't know how I got rid of my fluids so fast, but I did. I was shocked I had lost. I really got on to see how much I was retaining. I've been weighing since then. BUT...do it when you feel right about it.  Let me know how you're doing! Liz

Thanks for posting this.  I was wondering the same thing.
