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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
