I love weighing everyday but I do not obsess about the numbers though.

My daughter says I am not obsessed I am dedicated....lol.

I weigh myself daily and record the.numbers. If they arent going down I know right away to change something up. Tjis has kept me from stalling any longer than 4 days.

I learned a long time ago that if I don't weigh everyday I get way to lax in my eating. I have kept it to once a day.

Just be careful the way you think about the numbers you are looking at by constantly weighing yourself. When it doesn't change the way you want it to we tend to seek out ways to comfort ourselves, and I know for me it was food. My wife and I are diligent to only weigh in once a week. It can be hard but this new lifestyle is all about discipline, and in more than one area.

I weight my self once a week. I think I will threw away the scale & only weight my self when I see the dietician or surgeon. Lolz I'll take the scale to the basement. I hate stalls & it just makes me mad so why put my self threw that.

This is so so true! We (or I) do seek gratification daily.. I do weigh everyday and need to quit!! I am 12 weeks out and the weight loss has slowed down. At the beginning I was seeing almost a pound a day. Now when the scale doesn't move I wonder what I did wrong. I really need to change the way I think! My weight loss had to slow down, so I need to just weigh once a week and be good with that!

Its a mind over matter way of thinking! And the scale can cause great frustration!

I guess because I'm still so new at this, I want to see the numbers every day... I feel like I'm not losing fast enough.... I don't want to start putting that pressure on myself...

There is nothing wrong with weighing every day. I weigh just about every time I go in the bathroom. But I am not stressed about losing or not because I know as long as I follow the rules the weight will come off.

I agree with worm. I weigh daily every morning as soon as I get up for consistency. It helps keep me focused on my goals. Also lets me know if something is going on and I need to change things up. Once I went out of town for a week and when I came back I was 4 pounds heavier! Not sure how that happened but I know as long as Im weighing, Im losing weight.

You won't see bigger numbers till you eat more calories and definitely 64+ ounces of Fluid a day

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

        I've been dreaming about it for 30 years or so. It's time to make it happen!

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
