To Scale or Not To Scale

LOL at the pooping weight :D  That sounds like something I would do.  

I get really obsessed with numbers too so.. sigh.  I'm getting on the scale tomorrow.  It will be awesome.  

I didn't have a scale until after my 1st post op appointment and what surprise! I'd wait...I then set a schedule of a weekly weigh in no more, no less. I'd like to go to monthly now that I'm at goal but I'm afraid to at this time.

Getting on the scale is fun after surgery.  Enjoy watching the pounds go down.  To me it is like watching a baby learn to walk.  I want to see every step, even the fall downs and get up agains.  Don't deprive yourself of this.  Enjoy the scale now.

Later it will be harder to get on the scale and not see loss.  Then you have to get on so that you don't let gain get out of hand.

But I never understand why anyone would deprive themselves of weighing in during the honeymoon period after surgery.

Because I've read too many posts of people freaking out due to fluid retention weight gain immediately post op. It seemed best to wait for that to pass.
