Hiding my scale
I think I am going to hide my scale. I weight myself at least 3 times a day. I am driving myself nuts. I am only 13 days post op and I have lost 13 pounds, but I am driving myself crazy with my obsession of the scale. One of my first questions post-op was where is the scale? The doctor told me no, I was not weighing myself 5 hours after surgery. I am just so excited to start my new healthy life :)
I am going to try to weigh myself once a month on the 16th since my surgery was May 16th.
Was anyone else obsessed with the scale post op?
I have a tendency to get really obsessed with numbers, so I knew that this was a trap I could easily fall into. Instead, I started using the site TrendWeight. I weigh myself daily, after I use the toilet but before I do anything else, and then TrendWeight tracks everything for me. It takes that obsession of weight and day to day fluctuations away for me. It's amazing. I can see the way my weight is trending and that's what I need to focus on. I love it. :)
