At the very beginning I was weighing every few days. I currently weigh weekly but my weight loss has slowed down so I am moving to once a fortnight. Also I think it is important to consider other factors other than weight only, for instance my scale also measure fat and muscle % and I have purchase a special pair of leggings to measure waist and hips

I log my weight weekly...but I do jump on the scale nearly daily (depending on my mood). Whenever I find that the number is starting to affect me though I put the scale away for a few days. It is really hard to see the crazy fluctuations so sometimes I need to just stop.

Every day and record every day, I find it nice to see the progress and the stalls.

Right now... every day. I'm 1 week post op.
I'm going to try to start doing weekly because I know if I do daily and hit that infamous 3 week stall I am going to discourage myself further.

      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.
