XP: Stay off scales??
I'm one week post op from my tummy tuck (Fleur De Leis) and arm lift.
I haven't been on the scales since the day before surgery. Lots of IV's, swelling, narcotics, off schedule, not keeping a log of meals since surgery, etc.
I'm drinking lots and trying for 130 gm protein daily for healing. BM's pretty much back to normal. Had 2 drains and pain pump taken out today. Still have 2 JP's in belly.
When should I get on scales??
I want to be vigilant about any gain - ( I'm not letting any forbidden foods back in and not feeling like I need to reward myself for being in pain - so sticking with plan of protein, veggies, fruit and whole grains) but don't want to panic about the gain from surgery and recovery.
You're advice or experience appreciated. Thanks.
