Weekly is fine. You can weigh daily if you want to drive yourself crazy though.

I weigh weekly, some people weigh monthly, others only weigh when they go to the Dr. checkups. Just don't weigh yourself daily... you will drive yourself crazy. I also don't weigh on the week during my cycle, because I always stall that week and don't want to get depressed.

I weigh myself at docs appts only because I tend to get obsessive about the number. It ruins my whole mood if the number goes up and I dont feel like being on that roller coaster again.

I guess I'm the oddball in the group. I weigh daily. Right when I first get up, with my scale in the same location. When losing or tracking, I only record my weight on Friday. Weighing every day, I don't worry about a couple pounds variance. I have a set bounce zone of 5 lbs. either way. When I get close to the top of the bounce, I cut back on Snacks and sugary drinks. So far, it's working for me.

Haha! I am 3 weeks out and was already obsessed with weighing myself. So I took the battery out of the scale and threw it away. I stop at my dad's house every Saturday for coffee and some chat so I will weigh myself there.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
