  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

      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.
