I think it would make me sad if I see I gain a pound that's why I don't go on the scale daily.

I go on the scale daily as well but, I know there will be fluctuations. The only time I get upset is if it keeps going up and not coming back down. That hasn't happened with this surgery, if it went up a pound or two it was usually off within the next few days. I also remind myself that fluctuations in levels of hydration will make the scale move as well.

I learned early not to weigh every day. I get on the scale once a week and that is great for my mentality. Keeps me on track thru the week so I'm not disappointed when it's my day to weigh.

I admit to being a daily visitor to the scale. I find that I need that day-to-day feedback to ensure I stay on track. If I see it go up a touch, I am extra good the next day to ensure it comes back off very quickly. Just me, I suppose.

I'm like MsCook above, I am a dialy scale person too, I like to catch it early if I can for the same reasons above. Plus when I see a drop it gives me even more incentive to go that extra mile while working out :) I'm a daily weigher and dam proud of it - LOL :)

I so totally do this. I also weigh daily, which was a bad thing until I learned to accept flucuations were part of the process as were stalls. Neither bother me in general except when I get close to a goal, like being below 200 (almost there now) and my evil body just to spite me puts me into a stall or that gain and lose bouncing game. I get annoyed but it does not get me down, now I just joke about it and know that eventually the weight will come off and I just up my game. Without the daily weigh-ins I think I would go into shock LOL....Honestly since I am on the losing track way more often then the gaining track right now I find weighing daily is very helpful and keeps me motivated (even on the days I lose since it just makes me work harder). I am guessing soon there will be a time when the weight loss really slows down less then that average 3 pound a week weight loss I am currently experiencing and then I might join the once a week weigh-in club!

      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.
