  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.

Now once a week or once a fortnight. I used to weigh myself every day but I just couldn't keep that up long term. It would have driven me bonkers

Since I have been back on track, every morning. It helps me stay focused. I will move to weekly when I reach goal. If I miss a day, I don't freakout.

I guess I'm weird, but I only weigh myself twice a week. Weighing every day stresses me out.

I must say this so everyone can understand my OCD tendency. I can become so totally obsessed with the scales. I hate them!! I hate to weigh even at the DR's office. I have even cancelled DR'S appointments because I knew they would weigh me!! So for my own sanity I try to weigh 1 time a month. My hubby kept pushing me to weigh. He doesn't realize how it affects me. I have felt that I had gained weight and thought I would stick my head in the sand!! But you know what? I hadn't even gained a pound. I think I should weigh myself only at the DR.'s office. That is my plan for now. Hubby be DAMNED. LOL

Usually twice a day. Morning and night. I know it makes some people crazy, but it makes me feel good to see that weight gone, and it keeps me accountable. I gained 4 lbs after a few days about a month ago, and I feel like I was able to stop, regroup and get focused again before it got too far out of hand.

I am familiar with how the scale fluctuates during different times of the day.

I try to only weigh myself once a week but I really go by the surgeons scales as they where what I was weighed on before I was wheeled in to be operated on and I trust they are accurate. so I only record my weight loss after I have seen the surgeon then it is official

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
