I'm debating on whether I should weigh once a week or once in the morning. The once a day thing is getting very depressing because I don't see anything happening. What do you all do?

Three times a day when I'm losing, and once a week when I'm not!

Seriously, I use it as incentive and as a warning, so I can adjust what I'm eating if I don't see results.

If I walk by the scale I usually end up on it. I agree it gets to be depressing because I am not losing as fast as others, but I keep doing it anyway. :smile:

I'm on it every morning - mostly because I can't believe it isn't moving! lol . . . but I want to know if things move . . . in any direction. I sure don't want to start putting pounds back on!

Every day!! Sometimes again in the evening if I feel that I've been particularly good or bad :smile:

I have now started taking measurements so that I can see it changing when the scale doesn't. (one more thing to obsess over lol)

I feel horrid if I can't weigh myself - like on vacation. I have to know how I'm doing.

When I was first banded, I weighed several time a day. It became like an obsession. I had to stop that because it was getting too frustrating. I now fluctuate between weighing every morning and every other morning but no longer several times a day.

I admit I am obsessed. I weight many many times a day. I bought a new scale today and I could hardly wait till I got home to see what it said! I opened it in the car! It weighs me a bit higher than my old one, sad to say. So now I hate the new one. We aren't on good terms.

I voted for once a day...but it's more like when I "feel" like I've lost or I need an early morning smile!

I get out of bed, and weigh in the buff....don't want any extra...

Hi, I am a newbie--. I weigh 3 x per week and I do it about the same time every morning. I would be curious to see what others do--I may change to 1 x per week??

Do u ever get frustrated weighing every day if the scale doesn't show a weight loss?? That's my biggest worry, I don't want to set myself up for a guilt trip if I'm not losing everyday..

I suppose you can get frustrated by it. It makes me more motivated to do something to MAKE the number change the next day.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
