Apparently the best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning after a wee.

My weight is always about 4llbs difference. It doesn't really matter though, just make sure you weigh at the same time of the day and you will be able to map your weight loss :D

Oh big time. Pre-op it could be 7-8 pounds. Now 2-3. My last baby I remember getting scolded one month for gaining 10 lbs in a month and then getting scolded the next month for "dieting" and losing 11--it was just afternoon vs morning appointments but no one believed me!

probably Water retention - may want to look at salt intake if you retain a lot. mine fluctuates 2-3 lbs. Ten pounds seems like a lot unless you are weighing in your birthday after your first trip to the bathroom and your other weigh-ins are fully dressed with shoes and after you have ate and drank Water.

Of course it does! Between eating, drinking, additional Water, clothing....you name it. That's why I only weigh first thing in the morning and disregard what the scale may say in the day. The difference can be huge sometimes!

Oh, and not to be gross, but I've weighed, gone poop, and weighed again after. It can be a half a pound difference sometimes! Lol...

Why weigh yourself 3 times a day? Yes your weight will fluctuate between waking up, noon and evening. Perfectly normal, everyone's weight does this. Your AM weight, especially after visiting the potty tends to be your lowest. Your body is coming off and 8 hour fast. By noon and evening, you've eaten and had liquids. Step back from the scale.< /p>

my weight goes up and down like 10lbs too. I just always get on the scale when I go to the bathroom. Its exciting to me! I love losing this weight and it still has not set in yet! I do notice when I get my full day of Water and Protein though it does not go up and down as much.

      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.
