When should you weigh yourself after surgery

I was sleeved February 18, 2014 and I'm curious to know when should I start weighing myself again?

Honestly, I think you should wait a month. Because you might be disappointed if you do too early, since you are probably bloated from the fluids from the hospital and all the air they pumped you with to do the surgery. Some people actually gain after the surgery before they start to lose. But I didn't follow my own advice lol. I started weighing 5 or 6 days after. I hadn't gained not lost anything...

I was sleeved on 2/17/14. And I vowed I would not step on the scale until I went for my follow up with my surgery. Welp, I couldn't wait. I knew if I didn't lose any, I'd be disappointed, but could say it was fluids from surgery and lack of movement. Didn't even make a week. I caved on Friday, and I had lost almost 6 pounds. Then I just had to do it a week post op and was down 3.6 more! It's a vicious mind game! Do it when you are comfortable. If you're curious, try it. If it doesn't matter, wait.
