Scales, Bah Humbug

I had sworn I wasnt going to get on the scales until I saw Dr Mikami tommorow. But I was just at my neighbors and hopped on her scales. I havent even lost 5 pounds in 2 weeks. This stinks !!! Laura

I really wouldn't worry about it. I can get on my scale in the morning and weigh one number then get on my mom's scale and weigh something else. When you weigh yourself you have to do it the same time on the same scale. I weigh myself before I shower on Thursday's. If I weigh myself after I shower and have had my first protien shake I'll weigh a different number than I did an hour ago. Just wait till you see what the doctors scale says. I bet you'll like those numbers. Good Luck, Robin W

Shame, shame, I know your name Loraine. LOL. Don't get discouraged yet. Wait till your doctors scales. Also measure your legs, waist, hips and everywhere to show that you are losing inches when you are not losing weight. Don't you see the doc on Monday? I bet you are excited. Richard

Her scale could be 10 lbs different. I wont even weigh at Dr.Currys office because I only one to see it on one scale and thats mine. Its such a mind game. Dont let it get to you. You are doing fine and please give yourself 6 months before you decide on a reversal. If then you still want it then thats a different story. I really feel you will love this in the end. Try to relax and just take one day at a time. Love and prayers for you, Cindy

Good luck at the doctor tomorrow! I wouldn't depend on someone elses scales, especially if you didn't weigh there before surgery.........You know scales......the darn things can weigh different, even the same brand and model!! hugs, Tab

Laura, I bet you will be suprised when you see Dr Mikami tomorrow and find that you have lost at least over 5lbs. I have sneaked on my scales and I hope they are telling me the truth. Just be positive... maybe we will see each other tomorrow. Julie

I agree don't weight yourself on scales you don't normally use i was weighed by one doc office and it was off by almost 100lbs!!! my grandmother bought me a scale that goes up in higher weights and i weight myself on thursdays and it's the only scale i believe so many different things can throw off a scale don't be discouraged
