Dear Marcia~~~~Congratulations on your progress. I am so very happy for you that your recovery is rapid and uneventful. I also want to give you a great big hug for ignoring the scale. When I first had surgery, I was 150# over the limit of my scale so I never weighed in except at MD visits. It was the best thing that could have happened to me. I never concentrated on the numbers, just how I felt. Once I got down low enough to weigh myself at home, I almost drove myself nuts because I was fixating on the scale. The scale is now in a box in the closet and I'll weigh in at the next MD appointment. If all fresh post-ops could get that message, it would be great. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for continued strong resolve and good health. Be well, be happy. Lorraine
