I admit I'm guilty of weighing in probably 6 days out of 7. I've been on a steady decline since surgery on 1/25 and have been so giddy as seeing the weight coming off. I know it's a double edged sword once I hit an inevitable stall, though, but I think I've prepared myself mentally for it so that I don't freak out. At least that's what I tell myself...lol :P

I do it everyday twice a day I have hit my goal weight and it helped when I found myself slip to get back on track because I saw that scale move in the wrong direction anything more then 2lb up I'm checking myself. I know people say it's not healthy but to me it motivated me to keep pushing to get to goal

I weigh in every morning. It works for me to keep me on track but, you have to be prepared for the stalls and such. For me it's more focus driven. Eyes on the prize and all that.

I have weighed daily since I began my six-month pre-op diet program last March. I am trying to transition to weighing only once per week, but I still get on the scale more mornings that I do not.

I weigh myself every morning. I like knowing how I'm doing and if there was any change. Maybe when I'm further out I won't feel the need to weigh daily, but honestly I don't feel like it hurts anything. I don't get upset if my weight is up a bit from yesterday, and I find great comfort in being down any slight bit, so this is what works for me.

      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.
