  1. 1. How Often Do You Weigh Yourself?

    • Every day, and I record (or remember) it as my “official” weight.
      24
    • Every day because it keeps me focused, but I only count it as an “official” weigh-in once a week.
      35
    • Every week, to monitor how I’m doing.
      33
    • Just once a month. I have plenty of other things to worry about besides what the scale says.
      3
    • Not often anymore. I’m at my goal weight or I’ve been losing weight long enough that I know how I’m doing.

I weigh myself daily. It helps me stay on track, especially now during the holiday season.

I reached my goal weight back in August, yet I still find myself weighing in every day. I've been trying my best to resist the temptation, since I've become so accustomed to checking my progress!! Now I'm more in the mindset of trying my best NOT to lose anymore weight, and possibly gain muscle now, so maybe my obsession to is see myself gaining rather than losing?? What a very strange and different concept for me!!

Everyday, sometimes more... For years now. I started when I got my lap band in 2009 and haven't stopped /cry. I use the app Libra to input my number every day. It is only for weight data and gives awesome stats.

Once a week unless I'm concerned about something. Trying to establish a normal relationship with the scale!

Now that I am working out and counting calories.....I weigh once a week to make sure I'm losing weight. Before I only did it once a month because I kept stalling and it was frustrating not seeing any weight loss.

During the months where the weightloss was extremely fast, I did it once a week, but for the last few months, I have lost rather slowy and I am starting to have a stabilized weight, so I climb on the scale every day for a "maintenance" check.

It has somehow become an obsession, when I sleep over somewhere and in the morning a scale in nowhere to be found, I feel weird, it has become a part of my morning habits...Oops.

      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.
