Daily.
Get up.
Make the pee pee.
Strip off the jammies.
Pull the scale out of the time out closet.
Get on.
Groan.
Record weight.
Put the jammies back on and start day.

For me weighing everyday only worries me so I weigh in every Monday. I’ve been weighing in every Monday for years now and that’s also my surgery day (8/6). So far every week is going well. I would like to try to weigh in once a month but that may be a little hard.

For a while on here they had Weigh- In Fridays, don't know if that fell by the wayside or what? Since my surgery day is a Wonder Wednesday, I will be a Wednesday Girl! Maybe be brave and do it next week or the 29th, certainly will report it in on my😷 surgery day.

I am 3 weeks post-VSG. I weigh every morning because I know this period will be a time for the most steady weight loss. It is thrilling to see the scale go down. Even if it is in ounces and not pounds every morning. But I won't forget the advice my doctor gave me. Plateauing happens. When it does, skip the scale. He said it was just the body adjusting itself to rapid weight loss and don't let these times discourage me.

Everyday. I need the accountability in my life.

I'm wondering how often everyone is weighing them selves?

I waited a week to look (this morning) after my surgery. I found the number exciting, but I know it wont always be this substantial. . .

Does getting on the scale daily/weekly/ect get anyone down?
Or do you find it motivating?

Is there a sweet spot frequency wise?

I weigh in everyday... i'm a little neurotic about it, I probably shouldnt but I do.... I do it every morning as they say first thing in the am is always your lowest.

I weigh every day, but only track max 2 times per week. And if my weight has gone up, I stall weighing myself

I weigh myself every Monday morning and write it down in a spreadsheet. Most weeks, I have lost a bit but sometimes I’m up a few pounds. I try to focus more on non scale victories.

Most days. First thing in the morning after taking care of business. But if I forget no biggie.

I have a daily ritual of waking up, go to the restroom and then weigh myself. It keeps me motivated and excited to continue working towards my goals :)

      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.
