I weigh everyday, because then I know immediately if I am gaining. I also got an Aria scale awhile ago, so now I weigh myself on the scale I've had since the start, and write it down on my calendar like I have everyday for years, but then I also weigh myself on the Aria scale which syncs to MyFitnessPal. Sometimes if I'm feeling either extra thin or extra fat i'll weigh myself at other points during the day, but first thing in the morning, totally naked, every single day, is how I am able to best keep my weight on track.

I weigh myself every morning and night. I know obsessive but I have to to make myself accountable. I am almost 22 mos post op and will continue to do so lifelong, that is just me. It works for me.

My doctor told me daily...,but I prefer weekly...I pick one day a week and make that my weight day...I think after I hit my goal weight I will check it daily to keep tabs that I don't slip up

Glad I'm not the only one. I try not to weigh every day. I try to make myself go a couple days in between. Sometimes it happens and sometimes I sneak on the scale! Lol

I weigh naked before every shower and record it in MFP. It keeps me honest and makes the stalls seem like they last FOREVER! ;)

Throw out the scales.< /p>

it's about feeling better, getting healthy......its not about a number on the scale.< /p>

I'm glad that's what works for you! But don't assume it's what's best for everyone ????

I weigh myself every single morning and log it in. It helps keep me on track.

Too many people are afraid of their scale. They aren't afraid of looking at their speedometer to see how fast they are going or their gas gauge to see how much fuel they have left, but the thought of a scale gets them all upset. It's just a tool that tells you where you are at. It relays a factual piece of information. That's all. It doesn't shoot death rays.

      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.
