scale

Yay! Me! the scale finally moved.  Im down 5lbs.  That is my first weight loss since my surgery 12 days ago.  Now down a total of 50lbs since I started the opti and surgery path.  I was told to ignore the scale and trust and stick to my plan which is what I have been doing and it really worked.  Yay.  :-)   Val

Congrats! I think we should all just throw away the scales. I am not close to surgery yet...just in the early stages of this journey....BUT in the past I have become obsessed with the scales...I am worried that after surgery I will do this...I am thinking I may not have any scales in my house and just get weighed at the doctors....Just wondering do they ask you to weight yourself at home after surgery? Is there a log or something you have to keep?

No they dont tell you to weigh yourself and there is no weight log that I have to keep.  I will get weighed when I go back to Sudbury clinic and I see my family Dr. On the 20th  of May and I get weighed there so ive decided to weigh only on my surgery day which is a Tuesday.  I keep a food log that I put down everything that goes into my mouth.  I log into my fitness pal and it gives me all my numbers ie protein, carbs, sugars, fats etc.  I also keep a record of all my vitamins that I take daily.  Good luck on your journey.   I have to say that I've never been so conscious of what food I put into my mouth as I am  now.  :-)   Val

Darlene thank you for the lovely msg on my blog.  I was wondering if I can send you a friend request?

Yes of course you can ! I look forward to it :)
