I know that using the scales can make some crazy, (Slower loss is Still Loss!) -But- Keeping track and forcing myself to "Watch It!" Has been the "What works for me," for maintaining my loss. I’ll eat, but know that I need to exercise a little bit more If the numbers climb just a little. That way, I only make "Little" adjustments to my weekly routine. If the "Scales Make You Discouraged?" Then STAY OFF of Them! But for those who Are weighing in- Drum roll-------------------------------------- Hop your Azz up on the Scales! How much have you lost? Since Surgery? Or in Pre-Op Diet? And has the Scale moved this week for you? If so, How Much? My Starting Weight? – 385 + All Time Low – 179 Me?-   182  (actually early Saturday Morning weight) So, What about YOU?

Hello All Well I'm 12 days out and doing pretty good. I'm walking 2 miles a day and feeling stronger each day. Here are my numbers for the week.

Wow Charles, 12 days out and walking 2 miles a day.  I'm in awe.  Way to go...

My first gain post-op.  Probably bound to happen the week after an 8.4 pound loss.  Also added creatine back in this week, which probably contributed to the stall.  Still feel great. Here are my stats 17 weeks post-op: Highest Weight 375+ Pre-Surgery Weight 350 Last Week 273.6 This Week 274.0 Week Loss 0.4 gain Total loss so far 101 Loss since surgery 76
