How often do you weigh yourself?



Recommended Posts

Every morning before showering. But I check inches about once per week- waist, hips, ark and thigh. Then if I'm stalled but losing inches (or parts of inches) I still feel good.

When was in the losing period I only weighed once a week, because I used to like to see that big drop in my weight. Now that I am trying to maintain I weigh everyday!

I don't own a scale. That's one thing I'm not obsessed about. As long as my clothes size is going down I don't care about weighing myself. I'm only out 3 months, but when I'm out 1 year I will probably weigh myself once a month.

Are you all kidding me? :wacko: I weigh myself everytime I go to the bathroom! :lol: My scale sits right next to my toilet, so everytime I go into the bathroom for ANYTHING, I step on the scale.< /p>

I'm cool with whatever the scale says, its just become a habit for me. I've never gotten upset when I would go up a pound and then back down. It's just cool to me to see how much I weigh.

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

Amen! It IS about the number on the scale, at least for me it is. I was 230lbs and getting bigger each year, but had no medical issues. I'm sure they were ccoming though. The scale told me every day I was getting bigger. So, I had the surgery. Now my scale tells me I getting smaller. And if I start going back in the wrong ddirection, I want to know before I've back tracked to 20 plus pounds. Like coffee, my scale makes me very happy!

      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.
